You yawn anytime your brain is not getting enough oxygen and it's blood that brings oxygen to your brain. So after a big meal... your body is focusing it's functioning on your stomach so there's more blood there and less in your brain. So you yawn. When you're tired your breathing gets shallow and slow, meaning less oxygen... so you yawn.

I think yawning has something to do with oxygen deprivation. You might want to scan through the National Institute for Health website or MedLine for further explanations.
