Answer:
Hibernation is the animal sleep to escape cold weather during winter. During this period animal's body temperature drops, heartbeat, breathing and metabolic rate slows down to conserve energy. Hibernation helps dormouse to withstand extreme cold winters of temperate regions where it is found.

When hibernating the dormouse lowers its metabolic rate and heart beat to the minimum level which can sustain its life. Through doing this it saves energy but it needs to find a safe place underground where the temperature remains fairly stable.
