Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis
The author hypothesizes that inhaling the scent of peppermint makes insomnia worse. She bases this on the observation that patients with insomnia who inhaled the scent of peppermint before bed were more likely to have difficulty falling asleep than patients who inhaled the scent of bitter orange, which doesn’t help people fall asleep more easily.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that inhaling peppermint directly causes difficulty in falling asleep, without considering alternative explanations and other factors.
She also assumes that the only difference between the two groups is the scent they were exposed to, without considering other possible differences that could influence the outcomes.
She also assumes that the study was conducted properly and that the study’s sample is representative of all insomnia sufferers.
