In some species, when the going gets tough, the body hits the brakes, chilling body temperature and slowing metabolism to a snail's pace in a state known as torpor.Humans do not enter torpor, but the condition might offer benefits across scenarios as seemingly unrelated as intensive care unit (ICU) stays and long-distance space travel.
