Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hibernation and sleep both conserve energy and lower body temperature. They actually decrease body temperature, which is why animals in hibernation or deep sleep are very difficult to awaken. They also tend to increase during times of food shortages, allowing animals to survive until food becomes available again. However, they do not increase body temperature.
