can cause damage to blood vessels.

While OSA has long been linked to
obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascu-
lar disease, the researchers say their
study provides evidence that sleep
apnea isn’t just a manifestation of
these conditions; it can also directly
aggravate them.

The most common symptoms of
OSA include loud snoring, abrupt
awakenings accompanied by short-
ness of breath, trouble staying asleep,
and excessive daytime sleepiness.
There are also often noticeable signs
upon awakening, including a dry
mouth, sore throat or headache.

While OSA can affect anyone, there
are certain key risk factors:

 Excess weight. People who are
obese have four times the risk of sleep
apnea that people who are a normal
weight people do. Fat deposits around
the upper airway may obstruct their
breathing.

 Neck circumference. People
with thicker necks may have narrow-
er airways. For men, the risk increases
if neck circumference is 17 inches (43
centimeters) and larger. In women,
the risk increases if neck circumfer-
ence is 15 inches (38 centimeters) or
more.

 Use of alcohol, sedatives or
tranquilizers. These substances re-
lax the muscles in the throat and in-
crease the risk.

Other risk factors include being
male, being older, smoking, a family
history of OSA, and any sort of diffi-
culty with nose-breathing.

The use of a CPAP machine can,
at first, be both uncomfortable and
claustrophobic. A good starting point
is to choose the right CPAP mask for
your face shape and sleeping habits;
there are a range of styles and sizes
available. Dr. Suen says that there
have been many improvements in
CPAP masks in recent years: they are
lighter and smaller, often covering
just the nose rather than the nose and
mouth.

The machines themselves have
also evolved.

“Most machines now have adjust-
ments that allow the air pressure to
ramp up gradually, which helps the

vides for optimal outdoor living.
Through the kitchen, the hall leads

to a den with buttonwood paneling
and a wood-burning, brick fireplace,
the perfect hideaway to curl up and
read a book by the fire on a chilly day
while enjoying the private river view.

A large laundry room, outdoor
bathroom, powder room, two-car ga-
rage, air-conditioned workshop and
bedroom with en-suite bath com-
plete this wing of the house, allowing
guests an additional level of privacy.

Each of the bathrooms has a dis-
tinctly different countertop. “We had
a lot of fun with the granite coun-
tertops in the bathrooms. One bath-
room has a large pebble design, and
another has what they call rainforest-
brown, honed granite,” shares Hurd
of the uniquely patterned surfaces.

The master suite, and a third bed-
room and bathroom are located on
the western side of the house pro-
viding privacy for the family. The
spacious master bath – with sage-
colored, granite countertops to com-
plement the handmade Seneca tiles –
has double sinks, a water closet, large
linen closet, soaking tub and a huge
walk-in shower. Natural light glim-
mers through the glass-block wall,
brightening the room.

The master suite boasts his and her
dressing rooms and a hidden closet.
To finish the space a bow window
embrasure with French doors opens
onto the back patio, offering a spec-
tacular water view.

The outdoor living area, includ-
ing the dock, deck, pool and seawall,
has been given a facelift as well. The
40-foot-long dock and lift are large
enough to hold a 55-foot boat, ac-
cording to Hurd who loves to sail and
enjoyed having his boat moored right
outside his back door.

The back porch offers an unob-
structed view of the cove and a river-
side pool with a trickling fountain.

“We don’t need this much space,
so we’re moving into something
smaller, but we’re not leaving The
Moorings,” says Joan Hurd. “I will
