We yawn because when we breath through our mouths it brings in more oxygen than when we breath in through our noses. ( which is what most people do.) Sometimes, our brain doesn't think that its getting enough oxgen so it makes you yawn. Try yawning now - feel how much oxgen comes into your mouth? That's why.
