Claim One:
1. A positive airway pressure system which delivers of a flow of breathable gas at a positive treatment pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance of a patient's airways in order to assist in treating a sleeping disorder, the positive airway pressure system comprising: a flow generator which generates a flow of breathable gases to be supplied to a patient; a flow sensor measuring data indicative of the patient's breathing patterns; and at least one hardware processor which receives the measured data corresponding to the flow of breathable gases from the flow sensor and analyzes the data, the hardware processor determines whether to alter the pressure supplied by the flow generator to the airway of the patient based, at least in part, on the indication of the patient's breathing patterns, wherein the hardware processor automatically increases a pressure supplied to the patient when the hardware processor determines that an indication of the patient's breathing patterns representative of a change from an awake state to an asleep state has occurred, the indication of the patient's breathing patterns representative of a change from an awake state to an asleep state including at least one of a regularity of breathing or a regular period of obstructions.
