What is yawning?
To be straightforward, Yawning is an automatic, involuntary action of opening the mouth widely and inhaling the air deeply, filling the lungs with air and following a short exhalation.
The most common sign of Yawning is being tired or fatigue or sleepiness. Sometimes it occurs when a person is dealing with boredom and also due to the reduced levels of oxygen (linked to energy levels).
Do you know that some actors start yawning several times before performing a crying scene? It’s all because when we yawn deeply, it creates pressure on lacrimal glands resulting in releasing the tears, for instance. That’s the reason why the tears start coming while a person yawns. Isn’t it an interesting thing?
Some people yawn short, and some yawns for several seconds before exhaling the air. And some people yawn with some audible sighs carried by watery eyes.
“Yawning can help to cool the temperature of the brain.”
Yawning could help one person to stretch (relax) the muscles of the pharynx and tongue and could be the whole body muscles too.
Yawning is a contagious reaction, which means that when one yawns in a group, it makes the other person yawn unintentionally. Not only when a person yawns, but whenever a person reads or watches anything related to Yawning makes the person actually do the event.
CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE YAWNING:
As per the senior consultant from best hospital in hyderabad said, It is not fixed that only tiredness, fatigue or sleepiness can cause excessive Yawning; but there are several reasons for this such as sleep disorders, side effects of medications, anxiety, heart problems, stroke, brain tumours, liver failure and depression.
Let’s discuss some common and important causes:
Sleep Disorders:
Sleep disorders are the most common cause of yawns, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Nowadays, due to the heavy schedule and work, most people don’t follow the sleep-wake cycle in the exact way it needs to be followed. There is no fixed time to sleep and wake. It finally results in lack of sleep which eventually makes the person feel tired or fatigue in the day time, and it causes yawns (more often).
If one person has a sleep disorder, then it’s to consult a doctor for advice.
Depression:
Now, you may be thinking about how depression could be a trigger of yawning? Well, it has a lot more to do with depression to reduce yawning. Yawns are caused by the fatigue that comes with depression. Whenever we feel depressed or stressed out with the things or the situations, we feel tired (fatigue). Follow some steps to reduce depression.
Over the Counter Medications:
Yes, there are chances that over the counter medications (some prescribed medications) causes yawns. Visit the doctor asking to reduce the dosage of medicines or change the medicines. This is because some medicines can make you feel tired or fatigued. It is better to consult the doctor and ask to change the medicines.
Stroke:
Some research says that Yawnings may happen before or after a stroke. People who have a stroke yawns more often(excessively) than usual. Most of the medical professionals believe that Yawning can reduce the temperature of the brain. These are the situations which occur less commonly.
And even the heart attack, epilepsy and liver failure are also some less common causes of excessive Yawning.
