Yawning is like a brain stretch. When you're tired, your brain slows down, and yawning helps it wake up again. It also makes people around you yawn because of a kind of invisible brain connection we all have.
Examples
- When you're tired after a long day, you start yawning repeatedly.
- Your friend yawns during class, and suddenly everyone starts yawning too.
- A baby sees their parent yawn and copies them right away.
