Shivering is one of the methods that the human body uses to warm itself. It is a neurological reaction, that the body executes when it gets too cold. Joggers are familiar with the concept of moving to stay warm; they run in the coldest of weather and manage to stay warm. Basic physics dictate that energy taken from a storage source (like our fat) and changed to another form of energy (your body movements), results in yet another form of energy - heat. So when your muscles start moving back and fourth rapidly, they make heat, which helps warm the body in the cold. Some people have a different tolerance for cold, and in fact those who shiver easier, can withstand colder temperatures. Specific tolerances can change as we adapt over long term exposure, which is why all those Florida natives look at you funny when you wear your shorts down there in January, they have just adapted to the warm temperatures. Shivering is a sign that hypothermia is setting in as well, it's a very early sign, but uncontrollable shivering should be taken seriously. Here's a link to more information on hypothermia it's from Boston but I think they have hypothermia there too:

When you get cold and shiver, your muscles contract and relax rapidly to generate heat and warm up your body. This process helps maintain your body temperature.
Do unconscious people shiver if cold?
Unconscious individuals may shiver if they are cold, as shivering is a reflex action controlled by the brainstem. However, some unconscious people may not shiver due to their altered state of consciousness affecting the body's response to cold. It's essential to provide appropriate care to prevent hypothermia in unconscious individuals.
Do plants shiver?
That is an excellent question although it is easy to answer. The answer sadly is no because you need to look at what shivering is. When you shiver you are increasing muscle movement which stimulates blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow results in more heat since we are warmblooded and heat is produced in our core. Cold-blooded animals on the other hand would gain nothing from shivering except to waste energy pumping extra blood to an unneeded area. According to Wikipedia, pythons sometimes shiver, even though they are cold-blooded animals.
What is the result when your body feels cold?
Feeling cold can trigger shivering, which is the body's way of generating heat to maintain its core temperature. It can also cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin and extremities in order to conserve heat. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia.

Lizards do not shiver like mammals do. Instead, they may bask in the sun to raise their body temperature or seek shelter to regulate their temperature. They rely on behavioral adjustments rather than shivering to maintain their body temperature.
