What do you think about REM and SWS Sleep? The ties between depression and sleep deprivation and or the unknown death between sleep deprivation and the thalamus?

The unknown death between sleep deprivation and the thalamus.
As it's unknown, I wouldn't know, but it somehow rings a bell. If I'm really tired, I get this pulsating sensation as though death is knocking at my door.
Also, it's really unpleasant if I get high while I'm tired, cause I get that abnormal sensation which probably means I'm heading toward death. While sober or high, this happens when I don't get enough rest. When I do rest, the, suffering I suppose one can call it, goes away.
I cope with depression off and on so often, when asked if I'm okay I'll either respond with a smile, Or get annoyed. The point I'm making is, I've always been sleep deprived, and I'm only happy cause I understand things in this way that's difficult to describe, a way that's close to misery.
I'm sure if I'm awake when I pass away, that familiar feeling will be present. As you say, it's unknown, but the reasoning seems legitimate, since sleep is a well known requirement.
Depression is suppressed with a lack of sleep due to REM sleep using 70% of the time things that upset you. REM is when you dream in POV. So less sleep=Happier you. Although it's less convenient.
The death factor, the hypothalamus is right below. The control center for all organs. Connections?
My sleep patterns are all fucked up. I worked graveyard shifts for years and as a result my circadian cycle is all out of sync according to my doctor.
Typically I will take a sleeping pill and sleep like 4 hours and then wake up. Even if it's 2AM.
It's not depressing per se to not be sleeping but sleep deprivation can be annoying. I know it's paradoxical but I tend to have more energy when I sleep less, I've never been a big sleeper.

My intuition suggests what you wrote there is so freaking true. Thank you Kage. Interestingly enough, I prefer to be awake, though I have no real worries about sleeping. Dreams are one of those things I rarely remember anyway, though the ones I do remember, on the most part are the unpleasant ones. Even when I'm drained, I have difficulty sleeping, unless I'm extremely drained. In my current environment, I feel better off, yet I'm getting less sleep than before. I fainted from exhaustion last year, and was unable to stay away for more than 24 hours, but now I actually can and do stay away for longer, which brings us to these physical sensations that doesn't feel all that healthy when it's past the hour I should be asleep.

Connections.
The pulsating I mentioned feels like my vitals just might be prone to failure. I really never understood what anxiety felt like before these episodes. The lungs feel dry, my tense muscle by my left hand shoulder blade goes nuts, the nerves connected to that area sends sharp pains through my chest. The lungs feel dry and the heart just might be struggling. I am dehydrated when this happens so I drink water, but it's so sensitive the temperature of the water I drink seems to matter, cause if it's cold, the feeling of it entering my system feels uncomfortable.
Strangely enough, I think the only thing that would help me, are the sugar coated glasses I once had. I don't react much to it cause I know what it is to be considerate, but I'm displeased with people in general. It's the formalities, or the small talk. It's all the same, and for the sake of keeping the peace, I have to follow the same old routine...
"Hello, how are you.... I'm good and you ?..... Oh I'm good...."
In most cases sharing the truth will drag them down. To me it seems as though people maintain this falsehood for the sake of trying to be respectful. But it's all bullshit, and to reveal that will upset them, which in turn separates me from them.
They hold their glasses at me expecting me to pick up my drink and touch their glass, but that too is bullshit cause I don't feel anything from that. When I follow through It's like submitting myself to a life hiccup, and if I don't, it contributes to the small things that makes people think I need help, meanwhile it's them who are stuck in the same old routines of monkey see monkey do, so it becomes them.
What I actually want, is talking with less speech. No need to say thank you cause the thanked already know you're grateful. It's just more intelligent that way and it opens the doors for more creativity, and less repetitiveness. But the super ego demands more bullshit to sustain and imprison the lot.
I mention these few details that disturb me just to add to the speculation according to this plausible explanation you bring. Ironically I'm very tired now, and I will sleep cause I'm starting to doze off, without looking I have no clue how long I've been here. I consider myself bright. So does anyone who knows me, but it's not that I think I'm smarter than everyone else, I just see things differently, and I go off topic and speak of life itself here, cause it's likely the source of the turmoil I may be experiencing in my slumber. It's physical.
