Sitting with friends, over skype, I sat there yawning for 10 solid minutes straight. Seriously.

 

My jaw hurts. I feel tired .I CAN'T STOP YAWNING.

 

Here are some photos and videos to stimulate you:

So I propose this to you TIF. Do you ever catch yawns? It seriously is the new best thing.

I looked at the first thing and I already yawned out.

Sometimes even thinking of the word gets me to do it.

2:30am, playing the DS with no room light on.

 

The wild Bidoof used Yawn!

 

Oh no...

Ha, I saw the still of the video and yawned already :P

a bit of saliva built up in my mouth but i didn't yawn at the first video.

probably if i was more tired it would be contagious =P

After reading the title I suppressed all urges to yawn. Though it is pretty easy since I just woke up.

Same here, I could feel the urge coming.

Oh look, I just looked at the title of this thing and my mouth opened again.

I'm pretty proficient at suppressing yawns (a valuable skill, I know), but the video did make me fight it.

 

I know yawning's got something to do with getting extra oxygen to the brain in times of inactivity, such as when you're tired or bored, but why are they contagious?

Actually, I remember reading that that's not the cause of yawning and that people just aren't sure yet. I'm not sure about this though. But yeah, it's something strange.

Reading this made me yawn (not in a bad way).

Yawning is actually contagious.

I've never actually felt the urge to yawn when someone else yawns/references yawning. One time a person in a group of friends yawned, the other... about threeish people yawned too and I just sat there feeling kinda awkward and out of place, haha.

I yawned right before I saw this thread. Then right when I typed this sentence.

DAMN YOU THREADDDD!@@@

I yawned right after reading the title.

Yawning like a [bleep] after reading this thread.

It's funny this comes up as we had a conversation about yawning at work today and I've yawned all afternoon.

This thread is terrible for my habit. I usually skim along to see any new posts in threads; if I see one I read the title for a few milliseconds then click. My body clicks before my mind says "Oh crap it's this thread again- YAWWAWWN" :cry:

must...fight...it.

This is going to be the next "The Game"

 

I can see it now.

 

And yes I yawned.

Had to stimulate myself a bit to yawn. Meaning I had to actually open my mouth and try and yawn.

After reading the title I suppressed all urges to yawn. Though it is pretty easy since I just woke up.

 

Same here, I could feel the urge coming.

I fought the urge through post pics and the video, and through about 1/2 the posts. Then I let my guard down and immediately yawned.

 

Edit: Oh, woah, I didn't mean to quote that post after I actually did yawn. Woops.

I've had this discussion with several people before. I yawn a lot though, it's a reaction I have when I'm standing waiting for someone and I see them approaching, or mid-word when I'm on the phone - I think I do it during times of slight, unavoidable awkwardness.

I yawned right after reading the title.

 

Same.
