Yawning happens when we’re bored or sleepy, and it helps us feel more alert. It’s like stretching for our brain, yawns make our brains get more oxygen. Sometimes, seeing someone else yawn makes us yawn too because our brains are connected in a cool way.
Examples
- You yawn during class because you're bored.
- Your friend yawns, and soon everyone in the room is yawning too.
- Yawning happens when you wake up after a long nap.
