On the ice or a snow bank. Most polar bears do not hibernate during the winter. Those that do are heavily pregnant sows that dig themselves a hole in a snow bank and stay there for several months to give birth to and care for their newborn cubs.

A nap. Majority of polar bears do not sleep during the winter. Heavily pregnant sows will, but only for a few months out of the entire winter, then they're up and about with their cubs hunting on the sea ice.
Polar bears eat fish and seal During the winter.
the winter is not good for the polar bears because they find their prey less in the winter.
Polar bears are busy chasing seals on Hudson Bay in the winter.
They have to hibernate when they get ready for winter.
No, there is no evidence that polar bears sleep in the water. A sea otter can sleep on water, floating on its back, but a polar bear's body density makes this impossible.
Scientists have done many experiments and the result is that mostly all bears hibernate/sleep the whole winter. There are very few types of bears that do not hibernate the whole winter. The sloth bear, though, does sleep all winter.

Yes, the female Polar Bear or "sow" does dig. She will dig to build a den, in big deep snow drifts. The den is usually about the size of a telephone booth, with several small alcoves, where the female may give birth to cubs, if she is pregnant, during the long winter sleep. Females are not the only Polar Bears to take a "winter sleep" or to dig a den. When the temperatures drop and stay constantly low, indicating winter has arrived, all Polar Bears, will make a den, to take a long "winter sleep" in, not to hibernate in. Inside the den, it is about 40 degrees on average, warmer than outside. They are insulated and protected from the extreme temperatures and weather outside. For more details see sites listed below.
