Yawns are a mirror neuron reaction. I can't tell te exactly why but when te see someone yawn te have to also. Also, yawns are a symptom of fatigue, antidepressants, and some kidney medicines.
yeah, because whe someomeone else yawns, it send the message to your brain to do the same. technically they aren't contagious, they just (usually) are a case of monkey see, monkey do in an unstoppable way.
CALLING ALL CURIOUS PEOPLE: THE REASON WHY WE YAWN, AND WHY IT IS CONTAGEOUS.
IT IS DUE TO HUMAN INSTICT. IT IS THE MOTION OF OPENING YOUR MOUTH WIDE. WE DON'T REALISE WHY WE DO IT, BUT IT'S NATURAL.ITS A MIRROR NEURON REACTION. ITS THE UNCONSIOUS PART OF OUR BRAIN KICKING IN. THE REASON WHY PEOPLE YAWN IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES WITHOUT te KNOWING, YOUR LUNGS GET LAZY AND DONT TAKE IN ENOUGH AIR, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOUR TIRED. SO, THE YAWN TOPS te BACK UP AGAIN. WHEN YOU'RE BORED te DONT TAKE IN AS MUCH AIR AS te SHOULD, SO YOUR BREATHING SLOWS DOWN THEN, TOO. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE YAWN, AND WHAT IT MEANS.

Soo.. You're saying that when we are bored, we breath slower? Have te proved this?
Yawning is an action that he body does to get più oxygen. when te yawn te can feel the body automatically taking più air in. we normally do it when we're bored, sleepy o just waking up because our body at this time doesn't really do much and so it yawns to get oxygen, as for why we do it when others yawn i have no clue
When te yawn, it means the brain needs più oxygen. When te see someone else yawn, your brain responds that it needs più oxygen as well and te yawn... >.>
it depends on if te have an emotional connection with the person who previously yawned. if te do, something in your brain sorta triggers and te yawn, almost like youre answering their call o something like that.
Yawns are caused da too much carbon dioxide in the lungs. Seeing someone yawn, o thinking about yawning (I'm yawning right now) I think makes te remember that you're breathing. Once te realise that, it can sometimes become harder to breath. ...To be honest, I have no idea what I'm Scrivere here, I'm just putting up some random stuff that sounds vaguely scientific.
