So lately i cant stop sighing or yawning every minute. Before you ask, i get enough sleep and am not tired. Could it be asthma or something? 50% of the time it may be psychological as i'm thinking about doing it, if you know what i mean. Any help

I yawn a lot in the gym. Definitely ruins my motivation. I LOVEEEEE to sleep. I need at least 12 hours of sleep to feel not tired. When i was young during summer i slept till 5pm sometimes. Half of my day was gone but i didnt care, i loved to sleep, still do... But what i do is go to the water fountain and put my face in that sh*t. Wakes me right up.
If that doesn't work i whip my penis out and smack the equipment with it. wakes me right up.

I remember learning about this years ago in neuroanatomy and biochem. I'm not going to waste my time looking for the studies to back this up, but they are available....yawning is controlled by the hypothalamus and likely the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters circulating in that area, not the oxygen or carbon dioxide levels in the blood. If you psychologically aren't stimulated, there isn't going to be as much dopamine floating around, and hence associated with the hypothalamus triggering a yawn. It is also "contagious" by the age of 2yrs old and nobody know why, but there is obviously a psychological component as you suggested.
Regardless, I'd recommend changing up your routine and/or simply stop thinking about yawning. Ie. I've yawned at least 3 times reading through this thread and typing this response. I'm willing to bet others have done it at least once.
