REM sleep

After studying the sleep section and now that I'm doing the sleep and dream study, I started thinking a lot about sleep and dreams. More specifically, the effects of the REM sleep on our bodies. I haven't remembered one of my dreams in a long time. In fact, the last time that I can recall was when I was in third grade. I also am an EXTRMEMLY deep sleeper. It's almost unhealthy. Even when I was a baby I slept really deep. I stopped peeing in my diaper when I was 6 weeks old. My mom said that it was almost as if my bladder shut down at night. I also am really hard to wake up in the mornings. Once, I slept through a smoke detector!!! I absolutly CAN'T wake up on my own. I've tried so many times, and even with an alarm that sounds like a siren, I can't wake up on my own. My mom has to physically remove me from my bed. It's going to make college life really hard. I also am never completely refreshed. I act awake when things are going on, but the second I'm a bit bored, I nod off. I get a lot of sleep at night most of the time too. I normally sleep 9 hours a night. I was wondering if you extremely intelligent people think it's possible to sleep completely through the night with a very little amount of actual REM sleep. I sleep so deeply and REM sleep happens when we are extremely close to consciousness, and that would explain why I always feel unrefreshed when I wake up and why I show symptoms of severe sleep deprivation.
