About this listen

You might wanna brace yourself. Because just talking about today’s question might make you... yawn.

No, seriously.

Why do we yawn?

And even weirder...

Why is yawning soooooo contagious?

Like, how does that even work?

You’re just sitting there, being a normal human kid, and then - bam! - someone across the room yawns, and suddenly your mouth is stretching wide open like you’re trying to eat an invisible sandwich.

Well, stretch out those jaws, grab a pillow (just kidding, don’t fall asleep), and let’s jump into the strange, sleepy, sciencey world of yawning.
