"Back in the 21st century, when people thought of sleeper pods, they thought of cryogenic hibernation: that was only the most primitive of solutions. The sleeper pod we use now? All they do is lull you to sleep. I think that's better than fuckin' frostbite."
— Alliance serviceman.

A Sleeper pod is a hibernation device created by the Turian Hierarchy for military use. Given the turian propensity for military discipline, the sleeper pod was developed to aid the sleep cycles of turian troops deployed outside of Palaven and other non-turian colonies. Unlike the cryogenic hibernation used by the Systems Alliance early in its inception, the sleeper pod produces no additional risk to the user and uses a combination of temperature and gas extract to induce sleep in the user. However, unlike cryogenic freezing, it does not place them in stasis, which is why sleeper pods are only largely used on starships and battlefields. Due to their effectiveness, every galactic military now uses them, including the Alliance military.
