Is cryogenic sleep possible?

Question

I watched a sci-fi movie recently where people were put into cryogenic sleep for long journeys. It made me wonder, is cryogenic sleep actually possible for humans in real life?

Sameer Alvi · Accepted Answer

I actually asked my neurologist friend about this out of pure curiosity. He explained that scientifically, preserving a living human body in a frozen state and reviving them later is not possible today because our cells get damaged by ice crystals. It works in sci-fi movies, but in real medical science, we are still decades away from making it safe.

Haan na, I also saw this in a movie and wondered if it actually happens! But honestly, real life is very different from Hollywood. Right now it is just fantasy, we can barely manage our normal 8 hours of peaceful sleep everyday, let alone freezing ourselves!

I am so new to all this science stuff and was quite confused when I read about it online. Is it true that some people have already paid to freeze their bodies after they pass away? Does that actually have any scientific backing or is it just a scam?

Ramesh Patel · Answer

This is completely in the realm of science fiction as of now, my friend. If you are looking for ways to get deep, restorative sleep in real life, focus on things like taking a warm bath, keeping screens away before bed, and practicing deep breathing. Those are the practical remedies that actually work for our bodies.

Haha, I wish it was possible so we could just skip all the stressful times and wake up in a better future! But currently, it is just not a real thing. Let's focus on fixing our chaotic sleep schedules first, that is hard enough.
