During your sleep you burn about 300 kJ per hour, if you convert it into 
calories you obtain (1 calorie = 4,18 joules). So you burn about 71800 
calories per hour during your sleep. If you sleep 8 hours, you'll burn 
574400 calories during your whole night.  [Which is 574.4 kcal, or "food"
Calories, per night.  Moderator]
