Say per hour, with a medium and noticeable activity level. It would help if someone could tell me how many a normal person would burn per hour while awake compared to when asleep, just an educated guess would do.

When you sleep, you burn 60 calories per hour. Taking a shower burn 65 in 15 minutes, or 260 per hour. Sitting while eating burns 70 per 30 minutes, or 140 per hour. Watching tv, reading a book, or sitting burns 75 per hour. Sitting while sewing burns 80 per hour. Theres a huge list of activities at the source, these are just the inactive ones. So if you mean sleeping or sitting, you burn more sitting.

But you should sleep more or you'll become more attached to food. Tiredness feuls hunger for comfort food. ;) See second source.

It all depends on your activity level. How seditary or active a person is , is huge.
As far as sleep, ex. say you burn 100 cal. while you are sleeping...
80% of those cal are burning fat...the other 20% is carbs from your system. gly, glu.
hope that helps.
