There are two primary reasons that we yawn. The first is to cool the brain says Andrew Gallup, a researcher in the Department of Biology at Binghamton University. According to a study conducted by Mr. Gallup brain temperature was a controllable cause of yawning. The second reason is to regulate Carbon Dioxide levels. Yawning is great way for the brain to ex hail large levels of retained Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide represents an acid in the blood stream and is manipulated to maintain normal Ph levels.
Hope that helps.

They yawn a whole life time
Yes, you can yawn while sleeping, I've seen it done many times.
when you yawn you get rid of carbon dioxide and breathe in oxygen.
It is generally not possible to yawn while asleep. Yawning is a reflexive action controlled by the brainstem, so it is typically associated with being awake and alert.
I have seen a lot of people yawn in my life and never once has any of them ever howled at the same time
Yawning while singing can happen because singing requires deep breathing, which can trigger the body's natural response to yawn in order to increase oxygen intake.
They yawn for the same reason that you do, too much carbon dioxide in the body. Yawning is the body's was of releasing the excess gases.
Since yawning is a reflex, it does not require consciousness.
People yawn when their brain isn't getting enough oxygen. If you not breathing properly and not getting enough air while singing, you will yawn. If this is an annoyance to you, practice proper breathing techniques for singers. You can find them anywhere online.
When you yawn, the muscles in your ears tighten, which can temporarily affect your hearing ability. This can make it harder to hear sounds clearly while yawning.
you can never tell how many times you yawn because we all yawn at different rates
To do the yawn trick, pretend to yawn while subtly inhaling to moisten your eyes. Then, as you close your eyes for the fake yawn, exhale sharply to release the tears, creating the illusion that you are crying. Remember to practice in front of a mirror to perfect the technique.
