Zane's symptoms indicate sleep apnea, which is characterized by episodes of interrupted breathing and gasping during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue. Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of falling asleep, while sleep-state misperception involves a person's perception of their sleep quality being different from what is actually happening. Somnambulism refers to sleepwalking, which is not consistent with the symptoms described.
