You look around yourself. What do you find? People racing against other people and the most competitive rival, t.i.m.e to achieve something which actually does not make a lot of sense. Most of them do not even want to be doing what they are involved in right now. They are caught up in a system that has been in place and reamined unquestioned for centuries. Times change. System has to change. Evolution needs a rejig.
Presenting the ideal solution (which hopefully will become legal in the next 10-15 centuries.)
Humano Hiberno Serum - in short, Hi-Hu..
You have a presentation in 30 minutes. You are neither prepared nor interested. What do you do? You are pulling out your hair in agony.
As Douglas Adams would say...Don't panic
Take out your personal package of Hi-Hu..bought through undisclosed sources in an unnamed country. Eat it or inject it or sniff it. Voila. Wait, set the duration for which you want to hibernate. Just repeat it three times..4 days///4 days//4 days..Make sure that you enunciate days as days and not as centuries..you may find yourself the sole mammal when you wake up..
Relax and sleep...
Enjoy..
Imagine a more serious scenario. One country is planning attack on another weaker country. What is the problem if you don't have an nuclear arsenal at your disposal? Hu-Hi will save the day. Hire a helicopter and sprinkle Hu-Hi over the attacking nation. The entire nation will hibernate and your country is saved.
The scientific rationale: The natural ingredients in Hu-Hi stunts the chemicals in the body from being active hence making you immobile but the oxygen supply keeps you alive. It is perfectly safe and harmless.
The only loophole is that no scientist has figured out whether others will remember that you were absent during your presentation. More tests are required to reach to a conclusion. To offer yourself as a guinea human, contact 091-91-91919191919 or email gethigh@huhi.com.

Perhaps you know or perhaps you don't... but a less 'nice' version of this is actually coming to the real world.
We can already drain all the blood out of a patient so that if a neurosurgeon needs a bloodless field to operate, he can have one. Because the patient is only cooled to about 15 degrees, the blood has to be put back in and the heart restarted before an hour or so is up however... otherwise damage will start to occur.
In future however, patients/astronauts and possibly just the curious will undertake an intensive care like operation and then cooled down while they are under anaesthetic, to something like minus 100 degrees C, using a process called vitrification.
They will then remain in this paused state for a number of years.
They mostly will wish to be re-warmed and their heart restarted within that time so that they can re-connect with their social circles.
This 'Ultrahibernation/Suspension/Human hibernation' - call it what you will, will be needed for a number of reasons.
0. It will be available for storing embryos for IVF - already available.
1. It will be perfected (already close) for individual organs first so that transplants can be stored better.
2. You will be able to store your pet if it gets an illness that it cannot be cured from YET - until there is a cure - coming
3. If someone becomes unwell with a disease that they think will be curable within 5-10 years (available after 2)
4. Trips to places that take years to get there - e.g. astronauts to outer solar system or even Mars (first considered in the '80's' by NASA, and being considered by ESA now - will not be useful until after 2 is achieved).
5. OR someone simply wishes to time travel.
The first people to undertake this will be at risk, since only animals will have been suspended and returned before them. They may or may not survive.
But then again, those first people are likely to be at high risk of dying anyway - and consider the risk acceptable to them. They will hope that in 5-10 years that they will be safer than now!
so - there you go.
You have opened a window to reality after all :-)
