English translation:ability to sleep through...
Explanation:
...the night;
but 'staying asleep', as you suggested, would also work well.

'sleeping through the night' is most often used in relation to infants.
As an alternative, you might consider "insomnia",since it also involves the inability to stay asleep:
"Insomnia. People with insomnia have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep during the night. They can wake up often during the night and have difficulty getting back to sleep, or they can wake up too early in the morning."
