I think your brain activity would be so sluggish that you would be more likely to have some secondary cause of death like a motor vehicle accident or falling down a flight of stairs or something. Your brain wants, needs REM sleep so badly you probably wouldn't be able to really go without so much sleep that your brain actually ceased to function. It may not be functioning properly, but any tiny amount of REM sleep is rejuvinating for your brain. I'd think that holding still for ten seconds in a state like that would put you to sleep.

REM sleep is amazing sleep!
Unregistered REM refers to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that occurs without being officially documented or recognized in sleep studies or medical records.

Deep sleep and REM sleep are the most important stages though. Light sleep doesn't do much for you. Deep replenishes your body, while REM replenishes your mind. Older answer (not accurate): Yes. It is the deeper form of sleep that we experience during our sleep cycle, rem sleep is where dreaming occurs But not the deepest sleep, which would be delta. That's where, unless your a mother and hear your baby cry, you are oblivious to your environment.
