Do You Yawn Often? And Are You Vocal When You Do?

[Supervisor42]

I looked everywhere on the forum and can't find this silly topic.
I yawn several times whenever I wake up, even from a nap.
I had always been vocal until I found out that it irritates people .
Then I found out you can control that part, and have been silent ever since.
FIL would yawn so loud, that you could hear it 3 bedrooms away.
On the other hand, I have never seen DW yawn a single time...in 33 years!
The reason we yawn: it is an instinct programmed into us, triggered by the brain to raise our blood-oxygen level.
So which category are you?

A. Yawn at least once a day.
B. Never yawn.
C. Yawn loud enough to rattle the windows.
D. Yawn, but rarely.

A
Husband is C and it makes me nuts

Some days I can't stop yawning. Others are rare. Pretty noisy for the most part.
And then there is my famous moose call. Irritates the wife, stops the dog in its tracks and I get the funniest look from him

I tried to explain what the sound is I make and can not

Guess I'm an occasional yawner!! My dog is a noisy yawner, as is Sammy the cat!

And if you see someone yawn you likely will yawn also. I yawn, sometimes noisily when at home. My LH was a yawner, and would scratch his chest while tossing back his head, opening his mouth like a cavern. Like, be warned, the bear has awakened. Lol funny the things we remember. And funny that the pets look at us when we yawn.

I dunno if it is true but I read somewhere yawning is triggered by your brain when it detects a low oxygen level
H he yawn is the body’s attempt to bring in more oxygen

Has anyone heard the same thing?

years ago ,i changed my yawn to a sigh out breath, to stop the "sleepys" that night yawns produce because of night shift gravel stock piling, it stuck .

 

[backlash]

I would fit into group D. Very rarely yawn.
How many people felt the urge to yawn while reading this thread?

Yes, they can be contagious.
My little brother discovered that whenever he yawned, his dog would yawn.
He would do 'fake-yawns' just to watch his dog yawn repeatedly.

The dog ( Otto) yawns and makes a noise when he does , does that count?

Since it is an 'involuntary' action, most people don't notice unless it happens while they are speaking.

This is true!

 

[Amish Heart]

I can yawn in front of Bibi, our African Grey Parrot, and he would yawn, too. It was funny. Boy, I miss that bird.

 

[Supervisor42]

This is true!

I think people should try it next time their dog is stareing at them.
It's pretty cool.

I labeled this topic 'silly' in the first post...
Have some silly :
