RE: The Hibernation Mystery | Is there any benefit to technology?

in #science6 years ago

If it's safe and wasn't a horrible experience I wouldn't mind the idea. I'm highly skeptical that the technology would meet either one of those conditions. To sleep for so many days in a row; I wonder if that would feel like being trapped in a dream world, trying to make sense of things, maybe losing touch with reality as you once knew it. Most of us only experience a certain amount of rem sleep per night. I wonder what happens if you get an overabundance of it, or if people in hibernation will dream at all?

Sort:  

I also have the same question as you. But, that could have been answered, because in this world there have been a small number of people who have that experience, even though they don't need technology. For example, people have been in a coma for years after an accident. Maybe their situation when in long sleep will be the same as hibernation.
