There is religious Islamic explanation for it but I will leave it out.

hey sara....
i dint know there was an explanation in islam about it... come on share it... i would like to know it...

Yawning has been researched by scientists for years, and is still a mystery to this day as to why exactly humans and animals alike do it.

There have been myths over the years that it is a trigger responce from the brain due to lack of oxegyn, but it was later announced that people given direct oxegyn, were just as likely to yawn.

It is normally something that is done early am, or pm, due to fatigue, but can also come at times of boredom.

Yawning is psychological because you can tell yourself not to do it and you won't. This is the reason why it is not contagious The normal feeling human, who can sympathize with anothers feelings, will yawn after another person, out of a person's natural reaction to atmosphere.

This has also proven that schitzophrenics (sp) and people that suffer from severe cases of mania, are less likely to yawn after another person, due to their lack of sympathizing for another person in feelings, and lack of aknowledgement to reality.

This by no means is implying that someone who doesen't yawn after another is a manic...just that it is a psychological act, when in reaction to another's yawn

it happens be cause when we open our mouth so wide all the germs spread through the air contaminating it and any one who take a single breath ..........................................................




just like SARS


now every one DEEP BREATHS

Well it is act of shitan, there is hadith about it but muslim have to say aood balah men el shitan el rajeem when someone yawn because shitan gets happy and he pass the influence to anyone that sees the yawn.

i didnt know tht there was an islamic explination for it lets hear it

i guess i will post that funny explanation i talked about in my first post now...

we yawn when there is a pressure difference between the air outside and inside our ears... when we yawn this pressure is equalised... but then the pressure of the air is changed... and so for a person near us, there is a difference in pressure between his ears and the air outside.... so now he yawns... thus yawning is contagious....

Yawning is very contagious, a Finnish study revealed that many species of animal do it when one of the group is seen yawning.

For many people, they only have to see the word YAWN, and off they go.

The jury's still out, there are many studies and lots of research into the subject, but no-one really knows why.
