Did you know... you burn more calories by sleeping than you do watching television?

Regardless of what's on???

I knew there was sound logic behind napping instead of wasting time watching the boob tube.

I can think of lots of ways to burn calories....and they dont exactly have to be bed-related!

Oh and I so agree.....whatever you do in bed can be done on a couch, the floor, kichen table, garage, back yard

How about people who sleep while the TV is on? Do they burn even more calories?

I actually did know this one! I think the pc is worse that way than just sitting and reading a book, also - not sure, though.

I must be burning a lot of calories then because I sleep while the tv is on all the time.

I think this study was done by a man who snores!

Probably the louder you snore~the more calories you burn!

& the more pokes in the side to turn over from the partner!

Tossin' n turnin' n burnin,' that's the menopause exercise.
