Hibernation, a common phenomenon among various mammals, involves controlled metabolic reduction, slowing physiological functions, and varies significantly across species.
Peter A Browne's 1847 definition described hibernation as 'a natural, temporary, intermediate state between life and death,' indicating its complex nature.
Despite being common in numerous mammals, hibernation lacks a precise definition and varies greatly, making it challenging to conceptualize what it might entail for humans.
In science fiction, human hibernation is often inaccurately depicted as complete immobility and low temperatures, oversimplifying the nuances of biological processes involved.
