bruh i just realised they dont sleep during winter
Winter sleep is called hibernation. Hibernation is when animals (such as bears) sleep for multiple months in order to conserve energy during the winter.
They Mostly Sleep
Some animals sleep through the winter -- those animals are called hibernators. The long sleep through the winter is called hibernation.

They have to sleep(hibernate) in order to survive the winter. Why? well, the food that these animals need to survive will scarce on winter; basically the food is either not enough or just gone with the cold temperatures. These animals Hibernate , some all winter and other part of the winter. Hibernate is a very deep sleep. The animal's body temperatures drops,and their heartbeat and breathing slow down. The body uses very little energy. These animals prepare themselves in the Fall to be ready for hibernation on Winter. They eat extra food and stores it as body fat to use this fat for energy while hibernating. Examples: Bears, skunks, chipmunks and some bats...
In autumn, animals like chipmunks, ground squirrels, some bat species, and hedgehogs typically prepare for hibernation. They will gather and store food to sustain them through the winter months when food is scarce, and they will find a safe, sheltered spot to hibernate until spring.
Hibernation is the long sleep animals have over the cold winter months.
When bears go to sleep in the winter, it is called Hibernation. Squirrels, birds, and other animals who dislike the cold do the same thing.
