10. How to Stop
Yawning can be embarrassing in some situations, while it might also be considered to be rude. It is an involuntary action, though, meaning that we have no direct control over it. There are, however, some things that you can do to prevent it from happening.
If you do keep on yawning, you can try breathing deeply through your nose to help ensure your body has sufficient oxygen. You can also try to move around, maybe go for a short walk, to get your body and brain active again. Yawning might also be as a result of being too hot, so cooling yourself down may be able to prevent you yawning.
