When Bear hibernate they store up fat and their body lives off this. The body metabolism also slows helping to conserve fat reserves. People would work the same is my guess.

In the absence of food, internal body stores, which are primarily fat, are all you have left. Normal starvation rules apply; however, while asleep, you require much fewer calories and nutrients to function than when awake or active.
This is why people in comas are often fed with a tube or an IV.
