Hibernation During Prolonged Spaceflight
Hibernation, the slowing down of body processes, such as body temperature, heartbeat and respiration, during prolonged spaceflight, is considered advantageous for two reasons.
1. It reduces the strain of interpersonal interactions in limited space.
2. It conserves supplies such as food and water since less is needed during the hibernation state.
The first video focuses primarily on how the bear employs hibernation during winters and how humans might be able to mimic the biological process that it undergoes in order to make prolonged spaceflight more tolerable.
