*Yawn*, sometimes just reading the word can make you want to stretch your arms and let out a big sigh. Every time we see someone yawn, it starts a circle of endless yawns. Did you know that not every yawn is a sign of boredom? In most cases, yawning is a sign of sleep deprivation
Here are some facts about yawning that you did not know about?
1. The View Changes Nothing:
While an average human yawn lasts 6 seconds, they are communicable even if the person happens to be viewed upside down, sideways, or standing upright. Our brains do not care about the location of another person’s mouth—yawning leads to yawning.
2. You Can’t Fight It:
There is no way to suppress a yawn. You can try it! When you feel the urge to yawn, try to inhale normally while keeping the teeth locked. It feels forced and your face looks like it’s going through a black hole. Part of the mechanism of yawning is the opening of the jaws.
3. It’s All A Chemical Reaction:
Even though most of us believe that you only yawn when you’re about to head off to sleep on your Duroflex mattress, your body is actually using the yawn to release chemicals into your body. When you yawn, your brain and body release dopamine, nitric oxide, serotonin, amino acids, and oxytocin that help to cope with stress.
4. Yawning May Be A Sign Of Disease:
While yawning is a symptom in itself but excessive yawning can in some instances signal there’s something wrong beyond severe sleep deprivation. In some people, excessive yawning could be a reaction caused by the vagus nerve, according to the National Institutes of Health, which could indicate a heart problem. In other rare cases, it could also signify a number of brain problems.
5. Get In Those 7 Hours:
Yawning in most cases is a sign of sleep deprivation. Duroflex is actively trying to make sure that everyone gets their designated 7 hours of sound, uninterrupted sleep because when you yawn, the energy around takes a dip which affects those around you.
While yawning is not exactly a taboo thing, why would you want to feel lethargic and sleep deprived which not even multiple cups of coffee can fix. Every yawn starts a cycle that no one can stop and working in that environment is not fun for anyone. So, get on your Duroflex mattress and take a much-deserved snooze!
