Individuals enter cryonic suspension without any clothing. This is because clothing tends to bond to the skin at extremely low temperatures.<ref name="encyc1"/> Individuals who disregard this and enter cryo-sleep with clothing or bandages will often awake to find their skin blistered and raw.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 20''</ref> However, dedicated form-fitting full-body suits specifically designed for use in cryo can be worn without the ill effects of normal clothing, though the use of such suits is not very widespread within the UNSC military.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'''</ref> | Individuals enter cryonic suspension without any clothing.

The "put-down" cycle takes [[seven]] minutes.<ref name="encyc1"/> During the first four minutes anesthetic gas causes the subject to become drowsy. Then another gas reacts to form a [[bronchial surfactant]] when inhaled, coating the passages of the lungs to help ensure a smooth wake cycle. | The "put-down" cycle takes [[seven]] minutes.<ref name="encyc1"/> During the first four minutes anesthetic gas causes the subject to become drowsy.
