Sleep Calories Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the total number of calories burned while sleeping (C) is:

\[ C = 3.5 \times \frac{BW}{2.2042} \times 0.9 \div 200 \times (H \times 60 + M) \]

Where:

\( C \) is the Number of Calories Burned
\( BW \) is the Body Weight (lbs)
\( H \) is the Number of Hours Spent Sleeping
\( M \) is the Number of Minutes Spent Sleeping

What is Sleep Calories?

Sleep calories refer to the number of calories burned while sleeping. The formula takes into account your body weight and the total time spent sleeping to estimate the calories burned during sleep.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Body Weight (BW): 150 lbs
Hours Spent Sleeping (H): 7 hours
Minutes Spent Sleeping (M): 30 minutes

Using the formula to calculate the calories burned while sleeping:

\[ C = 3.5 \times \frac{150}{2.2042} \times 0.9 \div 200 \times (7 \times 60 + 30) \approx 482.14 \, \text{calories} \]

This demonstrates that with a body weight of 150 lbs and a sleep duration of 7 hours and 30 minutes, the calories burned while sleeping would be approximately 482.14 calories.
