Why do we open our mouths wide when we yawn; And why do we yawn anyway?

You do realize that every one reading this will now be yawning!Why does that happen?
To answer your question i think its something to do with the fact that when you yawn you take a deeper breath in order to ward off tiredness

And the really weird thing is I yawned as I read your question! Does that mean reading about a yawn is the same as seeing someone yawn and then yawning yourself???

[mumof3angels]

And again!

I'm off to bed now!

After reading `snag`s` link I must go for a lay-down....yawn...yawn

apparently if you yawn after seeing someone yawn it means you feel close to them. and also apparently animals yawn when they are scared which sounds abit odd
