When I weigh myself before going to bed and then immediately after waking up, I find that I’ve lost weight. How can this happen?

Mostly, it’s from breathing (respiration) and sweating (perspiration). A little water leaves your body every time you exhale, and even if you don’t notice any sweating, water also constantly leaves your body through your skin. And, as you know, water is heavy! Over the course of a night’s sleep, an average person may lose about a pound of water. Overall, up to 60 percent of the adult human body is composed of water. Our lungs are about 80 percent water; even our bones are about 30 percent water.
