Minimal amount maybe, but no where near enough to say "most calories burnt whilst asleep". Most calories are burnt through the actual exercise, and you can maintain a pretty high rate of calorie burn for a few hours afterwards too, dependant on the exercise you were doing. It is worth noting as well that without the exercise your body wont need to repair during sleep, so without the exercise you cant burn anything while sleeping.
