You've seen it in several science fiction movies: Hibernation, or deep sleep. Nasa is backing plans to potentially put astronauts in a deep sleep during manned missions to Mars.
The proposal would see a crew 'hibernate' for up to 180 days, allowing them to make the journey of 350 million miles (560 million km) with a reduced need for food and water. The crew would be kept alive through intravenous feeding, before being woken at their destination by inhalation of a coolant gas.

I see,the space saved on food,water etc needs be used for cute outfits,shoes for all occasions,potions,lotions,hair products,and separate cabins following the inevitable "catfights" beginning shortly after arrival/wakening,and a safe room for the poor dude caught in the middle.
This 1M/2F idea has only worked once(on TV)as "Threes Company" :)
