33. Lack of Sleep Can Cause Excessive Yawning
Lack of sleep isn’t the same as fatigue. Fatigue is an acute feeling of drowsiness that isn’t always associated with sleep deprivation; you may be fatigued simply because you engaged in a heavy exercise session. Lack of sleep, or sleep deprivation, is going without proper sleep for an extended amount of time.
You may have sleep deprivation because of a sleep disorder, like sleep apnea. If you are yawning excessively, your body is probably trying to tell you that it is not firing on all cylinders. If that is the case, you may need to see your doctor and possibly a sleep specialist.
