Can sleep consumption be measured?

Sleep consumes energy, but less energy than daytime activities. And because everyone has a different physique and metabolic level, the specific extent of consumption will also be different.

Generally speaking, most people think that the body only consumes energy during exercise. However, when the human body is sleeping, the body is also functioning normally, especially the nervous system. As long as the person breathes normally and the organs operate normally, a certain amount of energy needs to be consumed. Although the operation is relatively slow, the metabolic function will continue. It can also reduce the secretion of body hormones during sleep, control appetite, accelerate metabolism in the body, and increase energy consumption. Adequate sleep will also affect growth hormone, convert body fat into energy, and avoid excessive accumulation of fat, leading to obesity.

In order to better promote sleep and consume body energy, it is recommended to stay quiet before going to bed and avoid over-excitement. Eat more light, easy-to-digest foods in your daily life.
