I chose to review an article regarding sleep and "Sleep Medicine" in particular because I feel like this is a medical/ psychological topic that I feel comfortable enough with to be able to provider scholarly critiques and feedback on the material provided in the article. The general article rating is a "C", meaning that there is room for review and improvement. My initial thoughts on the article was that it was well written, but seemed a bit like "information overload."

This article on sleep and Sleep Medicine is actually very well written. From the first initial read, it does seem to provider accurate and scientific information that is unbiased. Where I would make some adjustments would be to help with the sentence structure. My personal thoughts are that if someone who is unfamiliar with the subject and they are trying to navigate the article for the first time, the information might become a bit overwhelming and difficult to follow. I think this article flows well in the sense of the different functions that sleep can impact or is directly responsible for. Sleep Medicine is so fascinating and we are limited in what we truly understand about sleep and its benefits. I believe this article is a wonderful start to educating those who are interested. One thing I would specifically clarify in the article is which aspect of sleep it is about: psychological or physiological. Will this article appeal to those who are searching for factual information such as the physiological link between sleep apnea and blood pressure? Or is this article more so directed to the individual who is curious about the phycological components such as dreaming, night terrors, etc. This article has nice links and breakdowns regarding the different stages of sleep. It is evenly broken down and flows quite well.
