I think the sleep study might be helpful. Although REM is important, REM or dream state sleep, is not actually the deep restful sleep the doctors are looking for. It is the non-REM stages of sleep with increased delta wave activity that help determine how "restful" sleep is for the body. There are other components as well, such as looking at oxygen levels and airway restriction. As Rose mentioned there are a number of symptoms that can be explained by sleep distrubances.
Obviously, sleep quality is not going to be the answer to all your symptoms, but if there is a sleep issue that can be addressed you might find yourself with more energy to tackle the day.
Halloween certainly has changed since I was a kid. We take the kids to their elementary school "trunk in treat." Thirty minutes later (literally) they have at least as much candy as my brother and I would troving neighborhoods with friends for a couple of hours.
