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.
