    why do we yawn
    https://www.google.comMobile-friendly - May  12, 2014 - Well, both sleep 
    deprivation and exhaustion are known to increase 
    brain temperature, so while it’s true that we yawn 
    to combat lack of sleep, yawns don’t make us 
    ‘more awake’ but instead help keep our brainsWhy do we yawn? - The Independentwww.independent.co.uk › News › ScienceWe yawn when we’re sleepy or bored or if 
    we see someone else yawn. Some people 
    also yawn when they’re anticipating
    something important and when they’re 
    stressed. Many think it’s because the brain 
    lacks oxygen, but according to a new study, 
    the thing most of these instances have in 
    common is thermoregulation.Why Do We Yawn? | IFLSciencewww.iflscience.com/.../why-do-we-yawn
