Why do you lose weight during sleep?

**dirty-jersey** · 09-30-2005, 05:35 PM

Well basically the name of the thread says it all. My friend called me today and was like, "Howcome when I went to sleep last night i was 182 and when I woke up I was 176..."

So that got me thinking...what the ****?

Could anyone answer this question for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Water loss from perspiration and the basic thermodynamics of producing body heat and maintaining your metabolic rate

Water vapor. you can lose a lot of water through breathing. Like when you breath on glass and it fogs up. Imagine doing that for 8 hours. Also, you're gonna piss out a lot.

try sipping your water 1-2 hours leading up to bed, rather then downing large amounts in a short time. worked for me

I don't really drink a lot of water before bed actually. It's probably b/c I workout at around 7 or 8pm, so that means two or three protein shakes, creatine; and the water I consume during workout is a sip or two in between sets. Thanks for the advice though.

Either we have the bladders of a little girl or it has something to do with living in Mass.....(insert James Bond conspiracy music)

^ im guessin theres something in our water

You guys should keep a couple egg whites ready for when you get up to piss you can keep a constant supply of protein

And if you happen to sleep through the night it's no loss, just might as well take advantage of breaking your sleep pattern

i have to piss once but usually its rite in the middle...like i'll wake up 4 hrs into my sleep and then get the other 4 hrs after i piss....i never get my full 8 hrs straight
