Why is yawning considered a sign of being bored?

Dagnammit [Edit] [Delete] 5 replies 13:23, 8 March '07

i have recently yawned twice in meetings, and each time my boss has said 'am i boring you dagnammit?' (nb he actually used my real name, not my dis name).

why is the yawn considered this way, when it is just a natural thing u cant control, like sneezing?

  • yawning =

    your body's way of taking in more oxygen when you are tired to try to keep your brain awake. It's taken as a sign of tiredness, but at least tell your boss that you're TRYING :)
