Sleeping 9hrs instead of 6 will certainly "slow" your metabolism. It takes way less energy to sleep than to be awake, regardless of what you're doing. And you're right about muscle burning more calories. When I'm lifting, I have a lot of difficulty getting above 190lbs.

You shouldn't be hungry when you get home from training - unless it's your regular time to eat.

I sweat any time it's above 20 degrees F, and I've noticed I go much slower when the sun is beating down on me and causing more sweat than usual. When it's colder out, it seems to not drain me as fast. I loose my appetite after a run for several hours. Weight lifting makes me hungry though.
