If you get a solid 7 hours sleep a night and still feel really tired the next day keep running to the toilet every half hour and feeling nauseous a sign of being pregnant.?

Those certainly sound like symptoms. The only way to tell for sure, however, is to wait until your period is late and take a home pregnancy test, or wait about 9 to 12 days after the time you had sex when you think you may have gotten pregnant (that would end up being about 2 or so days after actual conception) and go get a blood test done. Good luck! You can get exactly the same symptoms from worrying about being pregnant or any other worries. Don't count on being pregnant until you either take a pregnancy test or a doctor diagnoses you as being pregnant. There are other problems that can cause these symptoms such coming down with a virus to anemia.

Why can't I enter Rem sleep?

Well you may feel depressed. If you ever dream then you do indeed enter REM sleep.

It could be that you have sleep apnea, which is a sleeping disorder in which your airway (consist of the mouth, the nose, throat & windpipe) is obstructed. The obstruction can happened in different places e.g. your throat or nostril. What happens is your breathing will stop temporarily and then start again. The lack of oxygen will signal your body to wake up so that you continue to breathe. This makes it difficult for you to go into deep sleep or REM sleep especially if your case is severe.

If you are often sleepy at work/during the day, feel tired & people complained that you snore (most of the time, but not necessarily always), seek out advice from a doctor.

There's a painless sleep test - where you may need to overnight at the clinic to determine how severe your case is. Do not take this lightly as having severe sleep apnea can cause many problems.

Late night cure for restless leg syndrome?

I have had restless leg syndrome foe quite a few years. I am 69 years old. Many varrious medicines were prescribe by my pschiatrist but none helped. Now, I am on a mild pain killer called "Tramadol" for about a year or more. This is a very addictive drug and I can't off it, I take one 50mg tab in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two just before bed time. It seems to have solved my problem with restless legs. I still have a little sleeping problems getting to sleep after I lay down, but nothing like I had before the Tramadol. Discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible.

Can you die without REM sleep?

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.
