[Shush]

Me: Yawns 1000 times just to remember how to yawn

Yawning occurs when one's blood contains an increased amount of Carbon Dioxide and therefore it becomes necessary for an influx of Oxygen (or the expulsion of Carbon Dioxide) that a yawning can provide

There are a few main reasons why people yawn:
Fatigue/Sleepiness - Yawning is often a sign that you are feeling tired or sleepy. Yawning helps increase oxygen intake and blood flow, which can help wake you up.
Boredom - Yawning can also be a response to boredom or lack of mental stimulation. It may help increase alertness.
Empathy - Yawning can be contagious, as seeing or hearing someone else yawn can trigger the same response in you. This is thought to be an empathetic response.
Thermoregulation - Yawning may help regulate brain temperature. The deep inhalation of air can help cool the brain when it gets too warm.
Stretching - Yawning involves stretching the jaw and facial muscles, which may have an alerting or stimulating effect.
The exact neurological mechanisms behind yawning are still not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the autonomic nervous system and certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Yawning is a normal, involuntary response that serves various physiological functions, even if we don’t always know the precise reasons behind it.

Islam is a complete code of life. It teaches you how to conduct yourself in various situations. As yawning is a natural process that cannot be avoided, naturally, Islam would teach you the etiquettes.

This hadith is asking the person to control the yawn and not open their jaw to its fullest. There are many dangers of opening your mouth that wide, for example: locked jaw.

There is another hadith that teach us to cover our mouth when yawning.

Also, yawning is triggered by four primary states: boredom, hunger, fatigue and temperature regulation (See references below). Its primary functions are largely not understood as of yet, but science will get there, eventually.

In my humble opinion, this Hadith is referring to a very important point about human nature. The word 'ha' refers to type of yawn that occurs with boredom or and is long and drawn out. Islam lays much emphasis on being active and alert. The word 'satan' referred to in this hadith could be translated to mean lethargic. In other words, if you are not alert to the situation you are in, you are inviting trouble or displeasure. Consider how disrespectful it is to yawn when you are speaking to someone. Driving or operating machinery while fatigued can be fatal. This is the satan that Holy Prophet is warning us against, not simply the act of yawning.

I hope that helps.

The theory I have heard is when your breathing slows down you don’t get enough oxygen and it keeps you… alive.

[MusicTime]

We yawn when we are tired. This explanation is partially accurate.The thing is that when we are tired, we tend to need more oxygen to break down the glucose(food) to convert it into ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) or energy. When we yawn, our body takes in more amounts of oxygen to fulfill the need.

If I had to guess, its a lack of stimulation. When someone yawns, it's not usually during something their genuinely enjoying or during high strenuous points(exercise), it's during something boring more often than not. Usually when we find something boring, its because we're not in the state of mind to recieve that information, and maybe when we're tired, it limits our ability to respond to stimuli in the first place. I'm by no means a biologist, I have no idea, but I thought it sounded interesting
