The pressure support apparatus is configured to provide a pressurized flow of gas for delivery to an airway of the patient. The patient monitor configured to generate one or more signals that convey information related to one or more physiological functions of the patient. The processor in operative communication with each of the pressure support apparatus and the patient monitor. The processor is configured (i) to determine whether the patient is asleep or awake based at least in part on the one or more signals generated by the patient monitor, and (ii) to control the pressure support apparatus such that if the patient is determined to be awake, one or more properties of the flow of gas are varied according to a first predetermined algorithm designed to provide breathing cues to the patient that prompt the patient to breathe at a target breathing rate.
