*Why do We Yawn🥱*
Yawn🥱, an involuntary action characterized by opening your mouth👄 wide, taking a deep breath😮💨 in...."why we do yawn?" is still a bit of a mystery, but there are some solid theories🧾 which are:
* *Brain🧠 Cooling Theory (Most accepted):* Yawning🥱 helps cool down the brain🧠 when it’s overheated♨️ or tired—cooler brain🧠 = better focus and alertness😃.
* *Social/Communication🗣️ Theory:* Yawning🥱 might also be a way to communicate🗣️ tiredness, boredom😪, or empathy😕. That’s why yawns🥱 are contagious — seeing someone yawn makes you yawn🥱 too.
* *Stretching and Transitioning🔁:* Yawning🥱 often comes with stretching your jaw which increases📈 blood🩸flow. — it could be the body’s way of transitioning🔁 between states (like from sleep😴 to wakefulness😳). It "resets" your body for alertness😃.
