Hypersleep/Stasis technology uses Metabolic freezing to contain an individual lifesigns to bare minimum perservation for the long journeys taken at FTL speeds. Even at FTL speeds ships are not fast enough cover significant amount of lightyears, more so to do so to conserve the quantity of resources of a human crew need on long journey (Food, water, air).
May 19, 2016 · Space travelers in the Alien-'verse typically enter "Hypersleep Pods" in order to while away the journey time since even with fast FTL, spending months staring out of the window at the stars is pretty damned boring, likely to lead to self-destructive behaviour among the crew and would require a considerable amount of extra food and air.
May 24, 2021 · The script for Aliens prefixes the scene with the marine crew waking from hypersleep with: EXT. DEEP SPACE - THREE WEEKS LATER. So the short answer to the question is three weeks. So you might ask, why the huge difference (almost 1000x different duration). The difference between the 3 weeks and the 57 years might be explained through multiple ...
Jun 24, 2016 · (Ripley had been in hypersleep for 57 years aboard the Narcissus shuttlecraft before she was recovered, so it seems as though hypersleep is used for long periods of time.) However, when they arrive, it appears that all the colonists / terraformers were abducted in the last few hours.
You can see Cooper and the rest of the Endurance crew enter hypersleep during their 2 years of travel from Earth to Saturn.

Jun 15, 2015 · The question of survival is linked to the relative time Romilly spent awake on Endurance while waiting for the return of his colleagues. It is debated how realistic the gravitational time dilation was in the movie. The mass of the planet his colleagues visited would have to be massive enough to slow time for them while at the same time not ...
Sep 6, 2017 · When the signal from David's planet is discovered in Alien: Covenant and the crew is contemplating whether they should go and investigate, it seems like one of the strongest arguments supporting the idea is the possibility of NOT going to hypersleep vs the option of sleeping for over 7 years heading to the original destination.
May 23, 2017 · 17. First of all, it's more likely that David simply disguised himself as Walter rather than swapping bodies. The reason that David went along with the humans' plan to kill the Xenomorph was so that the humans would go into hypersleep, trusting him to actually be Walter instead of David.
Apr 16, 2016 · Not including hypersleep, Coop only experienced Months at best. They did not have extended supplies and even a few extra days awake in the beginning would have taxed their supplies.
