sleeping plenty but still yawning Posted: 08-15-04 22:29pm
I am a fit and healthy person and sleep
about 8 hrs a day and am very active and
sporty. The problem is when I get into
college classes and more importantly some
office meetings, I begin to yawn and I
hate it. It doesn't mean that I hate the
classes or meetings - thats not the
case.
Why do I yawn or any person for that
matter? How can I control it? Is there
any medicine for it? I would really
appreciate your
replies/suggestions/solutions.
Thank you,

Some suggestions:
yawning can be caused by too much as well
as too little sleep by seeing someone else
yawn or in your case perhaps by a now
inbuilt expectation that you will yawn!!
So trying cbt (cognitive behaviour
therapy) check it & the book on it out
at www.Tao3.Com also you
could google for information on cbt.

the answer is your bored. So you
yawn. Simple as that.

Yawning is sometimes the body's way of
expelling excess carbon dioxide so you can
take in a big breath of fresh air.
Are your classrooms well ventilated?
Sometimes if you are concentrating hard
during the meeting or in class your
breathing may become shallow and therefore
not getting enough fresh air to your
lungs, so a big yawn is just your body's
way of getting the oxygen it needs.
