Torpor in an animal is a state of reduced activity and metabolism like hibernation that allows animals to go longer without food. Animals like rodents, bats, and some birds undergo daily torpor periods. An animal in this state would be sluggish and unresponsive.

Do humans experience torpor?

Technically, yes and no. Torpor, a state of reduced metabolic activity for a short time, does happen in humans when they sleep. However, the rate of decreased metabolism and drop in temperature is pretty insignificant when compared with the likes of humming birds that undergo torpor in the evening/night. Therefore, few textbooks call the human sleep a state of torpor. The upshot is that humans DO NOT experience torpor.
