'''Hibernation sickness''' or '''carbon sickness''' was a collection of temporary side-effects following a being's removal from long-term [[Suspended animation/Legends|suspended animation]]. Hibernation sickness could include temporary stiffness, muscle weakness, numbness, deafness and blindness (or, on the other end of the scale, hypersensitivity), and/or confusion. The symptoms rarely lasted for more than a day, and even more rarely caused [[Death/Legends|death]]. [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] suffered from hibernation sickness after being rescued from [[Carbonite/Legends|carbonite]] by [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]].

However, beings undergoing short periods of suspended animation could suffer no ill-effects, as evidenced during the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] when [[Ahsoka Tano/Legends|Ahsoka Tano]], [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]], and [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]] used carbonite freezing to infiltrate [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Separatist]] lines.
