Is yawning contagious ??

YES  .....!!!! 


Yawning is highly contagious ......!!!


The likelihood of yawning increases 6 fold , when we see or hear someone yawning  .... !!!


WHY IT HAPPENS  ??


There are several theories 


1.  It is a type of empathy.  We are likely to catch a yawn from a friend or a family member than a stranger  !!!


2.  The " mirror neurons " trigger automatic imitation of someone's yawning.


3.  If group of people in warm climate, they may yawn contagiously to stay cool.



We don't have to even see a yawn to catch one  !!!

Simply reading about or thinking about yawning is enough to trigger the reflux ....!!!
