Calorie Burn While Sleeping

I don't wear my Vivoactive 4 while sleeping. Does it estimate my resting calorie burn while sleeping? In my case, is my actual calorie burn daily greater than indicatedby my device.

    The total Calories burn has two parts: Resting Calories and Active Calories. Resting Calories are a tabular value based on your body size, weight, gender and age. Active Calories are being added whenever your heart rate raises above the Resting HR.

    Since you do not wear the watch while sleeping, the detected Resting HR is likely quite elevated, and in consequence it has a significant influence on the calculation of the Active Calories, which are then lower than they would be if the Resting HR was properly detected.
