YAWNING
What makes us yawn? Yawning is something that we cannot
control. Even in the mother’s womb, eleven-week-old babies
have been observed to yawn. But why do we do it? One
popular explanation for yawning is that a person may be tired
or bored. Although many believe this to be true, it cannot
explain why athletes yawn before an event or why dogs yawn
before an attack. It is said that yawning is caused by a lack of
oxygen and excess carbon dioxide. A good example of this is
when we yawn in groups. We yawn because we are competing
for air. Others even believe that we yawn to cool our brains
off. Cool brains allow us to think more clearly so yawning is
said to help us become more alert.
