The whole winter and part of spring.
An undisturbed bear stays asleep all winter long, sometimes without even changing position once they are settled in. The bear does not eat or drink, urinate or defecate the entire time. In severe northern climates, hibernation may last 7 months or longer, and the bear can maintain this deceptively shallow appearing state continuously the whole time.

Some animals sleep through the winter -- those animals are called hibernators. The long sleep through the winter is called hibernation.
No
it is hibernation
For black bears and grizzly bears, from spring to fall, with heightened periods when bears come out of hibernation and when they're fattening up for hibernation. For polar bears, it can be any time of the year.
They store food as fat. This occurs just before hibernation.
So they can lock in heat in the cold winter surroundings and they can stay warm during hibernation.
No, the whole metabolism shuts down to almost nothing.
