Do u lose weight when u sleep?
I'm on a weight loss journey and trying to understand everything that affects my metabolism. I often feel lighter in the mornings. Do we actually lose weight while we are sleeping, or is that just a feeling?

Yes, you actually do! When I track my sleep on my smartwatch, it shows my basal metabolic rate (BMR) burning calories all night just to keep me breathing and functioning. You lose weight mainly through carbon dioxide when you exhale during the night.

Haan bilkul, weight toh thoda kam hota hi hai subah tak because of water loss and breathing. Par iska matlab ye nahi na ki din bhar bhatura khao aur socho neend mein sab burn ho jayega! Exercise bhi zaroori hai boss.

Yes, our bodies are continuously working even when we rest, so we do burn some calories during sleep. Don't worry too much about the daily scale changes. Just focus on sleeping well and staying healthy.

Actually yaar, subah uthke weight check karo toh thoda kam hi dikhta hai because of dehydration and night metabolism. But that's mostly water weight, regular fat loss ke liye proper workout toh karna hi padega.
