When bears hibernate, do they sleep continuously throughout the entire winter?

Bears do not actually hibernate in the same way that some other animals do. While they do enter a state of reduced activity and metabolism during the winter months, they are not in a continuous state of sleep. Instead, bears may wake up periodically to move around, eat, and even give birth to cubs. This period of reduced activity is known as torpor, and it allows bears to conserve energy during the winter when food is scarce.
