How does hibernation help organisms survive extreme conditions?

It allows them to go into a deep sleep so they use a minimal amount of energy. Then when there is more available food, they come out of their hibernation and start feeding to regain their energy reserves to do it again the next winter.

conditions where the energy required to maintain itself in a "waking state" would be very likely to result in death.

Why do some organisms survive extreme environments?
Some organisms are better at adaptation to their environment because of their size, their diet, or any number of other reasons.
What term is used to describe organisms that can survive in severe conditions?
The term used to describe organisms that can survive in severe conditions is extremophiles. Extremophiles are able to thrive in environments with extreme temperatures, pH levels, salinity, pressure, or other challenging conditions that are typically uninhabitable for most forms of life. Examples of extremophiles include bacteria living in hot springs, organisms in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and lichens in arid deserts.

Can organisms survive in conditions that they are not used to?

How does hibernation protect the bears?
During the winter, food is too scarce for brown bears and black bears to survive. Hibernation is a state of extreme sleep where metabolism slows down. This reduces energy use and allows the animal to survive winter on its fat reserves alone.
What kingdom is extremophiles?
Extremophiles belong to the kingdom Archaea. These organisms thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as high temperatures, acidity, or salinity, where most other life forms cannot survive.
How does a jaguar survive extreme weather conditions?

Is hibernation an adaptation?
it is a behavioral adaptation because it is doing it EX. a bear hibernates :-)
