"A Person Who Sees Others Yawing Also Begins to Yawn ". I noticed it a number of times and i personally experienced it also. Do you have also noticed it? Why it happens like this? Well i'm not aware of the reason. Do you?

You don't have to even see someone yawn to want to do it. People can be made to yawn by even seeing the word. Reading the word yawn can cause you to feel the need to do it.
Scientists recently determined that yawning is something we do to cool our brains. I know that sounds crazy but because there is a fresh and large intake of air through the oral and nasal cavities when you yawn, it actually cools the brain.
So, I suppose if you feel the need to yawn you can just tell people that you have been thinking hard and your brain needs a cooling off.
Have to go, I am yawning now. :)

I don't know why this happens but I know it does. Just the other week I was teaching a class of 4 kids English. Unfortually I started yawning then the kids followed one after another. So I changed the lesson and taught them the word yawn. But this yawning went on for ages, then the kids got the giggles and the lesson time was over!! So a note to myself is to get the yawning ov
