Question

Is it possible for humans to hibernate???

Answer 1

Hypothetically, yes, we can hibernate since we have the gene that slows our heartbeat during hibernation and maintains our body temperature and stuff like that, except it's inactive. A lot of scientists are trying to develop a way for humans to hibernate, and in my opinion, that would be really useful for patients in hospitals that need to be put into a chemically induced coma. It would obviously take away a lot of the risk. It might also help people up in space and stuff like that.

Answer 2

No.  We don't have any genetic predisposition to hibernate.  Actually very few animals hibernate.

Answer 3

I suppose a coma is sort of a human hibernation- existing in a low energy state, but no, humans cannot hibernate in the original sense of the word. We cannot willingly sleep for months.
