The article is very interesting and points in a highly promising direction. The quality of the manuscript is excellent, and I have no concerns.

Anecdotal evidence (see, for instance, https://youtu.be/o-odCEmcT4U?t=666) suggests that humans – or at least some individuals – may still possess the ability to enter a state of torpor. So far, although this paper provides supporting evidence, a concrete demonstration of possible (and inducible) human torpor is still lacking.
