Molly should most probably have sleep apnea which is a disease that makes someone awake snorting and gasping for air in the middle of the night. This is a rare disease that makes a person go sleepless when affected by these symptoms.

Molly most suffers from sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where poor sleep quality and interruptions in sleep are experienced due to breathing stopping and starting a number of times per night. Sleep apnea can be caused by blockages in the airway or due to brain signalling problems. When breathing ceases, sleep apnea sufferers can wake suddenly in the middle of the night, gasping for air.
