There are a number of theories that attempt to explain why humans and other animals yawn. [20] [21] [22] One study states that yawning occurs when one's blood contains increased amounts of carbon dioxide and therefore becomes in need of the influx of oxygen (or expulsion of carbon dioxide) that a yawn can provide.

Reasons we we yawn. It was once believed that the main function of yawning was to increase otherwise low oxygen levels, but a 1987 study disproved that theory. And despite extensive additional ...

A circadian rhythm (/ s ər ˈ k eɪ d i ə n /), or circadian cycle, is a natural oscillation that repeats roughly every 24 hours.Circadian rhythms can refer to any process that originates within an organism (i.e., endogenous) and responds to the environment (is entrained by the environment).
Yawning is commonly associated with imminent sleep, but it seems to be a measure to maintain arousal when sleepy and so it actually prevents sleep rather than inducing it. [8] Yawning may be a cue that the body is tired and ready for sleep, but deliberate attempts to yawn may have the opposite effect of sleep induction.
When the usual mealtime approaches, the body takes steps to soften the impact of the homeostasis-disturbing influx of fuels by releasing insulin into the blood, and lowering the blood glucose levels. It is this lowering of blood glucose levels that causes premeal hunger, and not necessarily an energy deficit. [30] [31] [32]
Dog yawning can indicate sleepiness as well as many other things.
