Zombies in Antarctica — Isolated researchers enter 'psychological hibernation'

Researchers isolated at remote research stations during the Antarctic winter enter a zombie-like state of "psychological hibernation" to deal with those long, dark, and isolated winter months.

And the team of psychologists who discovered this phenomenon think their finding could give important insights into what it might be like if humans ever embark on long space missions.

That's "psychological hibernation", not physical, so no Onegai Teacher scenarios here - but it's still worth taking into account in stories.
