Why do some animals sleep during Winter. When snow covers the ground, food is hard to find. Animals such as bears and woodchucks eat a lot before Winter. Then they find a place to sleep that is safe from the wether. These animals stay asleep until it gets warm in the spring. If the animals did not eat enuff before they hibernated, they might die.
