Depends, if it is not warmed up but placed back into it's hole it will likely go back o sleep but if it is disturbed and moved about in warmth and not returned to below 50 degrees shortly it will become active although it may take a day or two. If kept in warmth with at least 12 hours of daylight it will become more active with time and totally leave the hibernating state within hours or days. Hibernation is important to hormone regulation and can affect breeding if it is not allowed to hibernate. The length of hibernation, however is not important, 4 - 6 weeks can suffice to help keep the turtle healthy and a turtle should never be allowed to hibernate unless it has a healthy weight and no ailments. Shortening of daylight hours in fall is what triggers the instinct to hibernate, the turtle stops eating and when temps decline they dig in.

What happens when Animals that wake up after hibernation will probably be very tired fat hungry or warm?
When animals wake up from hibernation, they are typically very tired as their bodies transition from a state of deep sleep to activity. They may also be hungry due to the depletion of energy reserves used during hibernation, as they rely on stored fat for sustenance. Additionally, they might feel warm as their metabolism ramps up to help them regain energy and acclimate to warmer temperatures as they emerge from hibernation.
