A system is disclosed for applying a treatment therapy for sleep disordered breathing. The system includes a sensing module configured to sense physiologic conditions and an implantable pulse generator in communication with the sensing module and including an automatic therapy manager. The automatic therapy manager operates in a first state to detect sleep indicative behavior, a second state to detect sleep disordered breathing behavior, and a third state to apply a nerve stimulation signal.
