Since you are still breathing, and your heart is pumping, you will burn some calories when you are sleeping or resting. Someone who is 160 pounds burns about 549 calories in about 8 hours. Although the person's weight will factor into how many calories are burned, generally it depends on the individual's diet and metabolism.
