When we are sleepy or drowsy then our lungs don't take enough oxygen which increases carbon dioxide in our body. The brain senses this and sends us a messages that causes us to yawn.

We yawn because our bodies are too relaxed and our brains haven't got enough oxygen to be comfortable. The act of yawning causes an influx of oxygen that invigorates our system.
