The concept of hibernation is to get every system in the body to slow down. The muscles in your body deteriorate when you start to live sedentary because your system is still at full power. If you run your body at 1% and remain still your muscles will retain their strength and flexibility and still be useful when you are "rebooted".
My question is what happens to the brain when it is rebooted. Over hibernating animals we have a consciousness and where does that go when our brain is suspended? If it's purely biological then it will still be there, if it is something spiritual then who knows?
