Sleep is not hibernation (from the Latin word hibernates; “to pass winter “) because, unlike hibernation, it is marked by rapid reversibility, and the fact that there is a need for sleep following a period of sleep deprivation to compensate for the time of sleep lost during sleep deprivation. Hibernation may be called extended sleep. It is a condition of spending winter asleep in an almost comatose, torpid or resting state by which some animals conserve their energy.
