Don't let it hibernate. It is dangerous and unhealthy to let a captive turtle go into hibernation.
What you need to do is buy a UV heat lamp to put/hang over the tank. The heat lamp will simulate the summer sun, so your turtle will go through the winter without hibernating.
You can buy heat lamps and UV bulbs at Petco and other pet stores. You can even buy a timer for the heat lamp, so you don't have to be home to turn it on every morning, and off every night.
I have included two links for you: one to the Petco page where you can buy Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamp Bulbs, and a lamp to put those bulbs in. The other is to a website called X10.com, where you can buy a timer.
