Yawning when you see someone else do it, even if youâre not tired, is totally normal. A common myth is that we âcatchâ yawns as a way to show empathy, but thatâs not really the case.
Yawning is such a weird yet fascinating thing! Itâs interesting that itâs often linked to empathy, but it actually has more to do with our brainâs cooling system. When we yawn, we bring in cool air, which helps regulate brain temperature. Itâs like a little reset button for our brains.
