The Sleeping Calories Calculator helps you estimate the calories burned while sleeping, factoring in body weight, sleep duration, and, in advanced mode, sleep quality.
This tool provides a quick, insightful look into how restful hours contribute to daily energy expenditure.
Basic Calculator
- Body Weight (lbs): Enter your weight to estimate calories burned.
- Hours Spent Sleeping: Input the total sleep hours.
- Minutes Spent Sleeping: Enter any extra minutes spent sleeping.
- Calories Burned Sleeping: The estimated calories burned will be calculated here.
Step By Step Calculation Examples
Example 1:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Body Weight | 150 lbs |
| Hours Spent Sleeping | 7 |
| Minutes Spent Sleeping | 30 |
| Calories Burned Sleeping | 430.5 |
Here, for a person weighing 150 lbs who sleeps 7 hours and 30 minutes, the estimated calories burned is 430.5 calories.
Example 2:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Body Weight | 180 lbs |
| Hours Spent Sleeping | 8 |
| Minutes Spent Sleeping | 0 |
| Calories Burned Sleeping | 453.6 |
For a person weighing 180 lbs sleeping for 8 hours, the calories burned estimate is 453.6 calories.
Advanced Calculator
This mode allows for a more refined calorie calculation by considering sleep quality.
- Body Weight (lbs): Provide your weight.
- Total Sleep Time (hours): Input the total hours spent asleep.
- Sleep Quality (1-10): Rate the quality of your sleep; a higher score can mean a slight increase in calories burned.
- Enhanced Calories Burned: The adjusted calorie burn, considering sleep quality, will be shown here.
Example 1:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Body Weight | 160 lbs |
| Total Sleep Time | 7 |
| Sleep Quality | 8 |
| Enhanced Calories Burned | 429.4 |
With a weight of 160 lbs, 7 hours of sleep, and high sleep quality (8), the enhanced calorie burn is 429.4 calories.
Example 2:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Body Weight | 130 lbs |
| Total Sleep Time | 6 |
| Sleep Quality | 5 |
| Enhanced Calories Burned | 269.2 |
In this case, a person weighing 130 lbs with 6 hours of average-quality sleep (5) burns approximately 269.2 calories.
