RE: Just started ASV and waking up.
OK, for one, with ASV you cannot do much with flow limits. When I was on ASV, I had to ignore the FL chart entirely.
I also think that if you're concerned about comfort and disruption, PS min 6 is too much. You're going to make it ventilate too much and blow more. At least I wouldn't suggest PS of 6 being the min in most cases. However 6 within that PS range is acceptable. I would suggest reducing PS min to maybe 4.
You could try EPAP somewhere between 6-11, 8-12 if you want. PS 4 min up to Max PS 13, 14, 15.
If you go with what you mention, min EPAP 8 and min PS 6, you're at IPAP min 14.
