Option 1

Article title: Caffeine

Article Evaluation: Caffeine is very helpful in not only temporarily enhancing cognitive performance but also in quickening recovery from abdominal surgeries. It is used in medicine for many other reasons as well. This article talks a lot about caffeine's impact on mental health, but I would like to find an article that talks more about it's impact on physical health, specifically on athletic performance.

Option 2

Article title: Music Therapy

Article Evaluation: Music therapy has existed since the time of David and King Saul. It can be used for many different mental health issues, including everything from relief from grief to improvement of serious mental conditions such as Alzheimer's. I want to spend more time looking into how not only listening to music affects mental health, but also playing music. This is mentioned a little bit in the article as "active music therapy," but I want to learn more about it than what is mentioned.

Option 3

Article title: Sleep Disorders

Article Evaluation: This article does a phenomenal job of listing many different types of sleep disorders, as well as steps that can be taken for treatment of these disorders. However, I would love to look into the impacts of sleep disorders outside of sleep itself. For example, I would be interested in researching the impact that having a sleep disorder has on one's daily life as well as their mental and physical health.
