I remember reading somewhere a while ago that they did a scientific study and found that when someone yawns, people around them usually do too (can't remember why).

Yes it is contagious, that's all I'm saying, I can't explain why, it just is.

RE: Is Yawning Contagious??
I was once told of a theory where there's one 'global yawn', which travels the globe. When it passes over someone, they yawn. So, if you're in a group or a crowd, it can pass over several people.
Of course, that's a load of bollocks.

RE: Is Yawning Contagious??
some people believe that you need more oxygen going to your brain, that's why you yawn. then other people around you will unconsciously register that fact, and yawn too.

Because you're wrong
It's actually fact that people near to each other yawn when other people do. |
