Around 1300 /hour: The "basal metabolic rate" is the caloric co9nsumption at complete rest. It depends on many factors like height, age, weight, % body fat, what has been eaten and male/female an average female will burn 1200-1300 calories/hour at rest and a man 16-1800 calories /hr.

Depends On Weight: During sleep, a person's weight and the number of hours he/she sleeps determine how many calories are burned. Normally, a person burns about 0.42 calories for every pound in one hour of sleep. For instance, a 150 lb. Person burns about 63 calories in one hour. If this person sleeps for eight hours total, he/she burns 504 calories for the whole duration. Rates vary with muscle mass and metabolism.
