persistent yawningPersistent yawning in church?

The past couple of weeks, I noticed a trend in church. I'm not generally a fatigued person, and I'm also fairly spiritual (though not necessarily in the "organized religious" way.) Anyway, I found it strange how frequently I yawn in church. I mean... it's literally at least one time per minute, and it only began this last year. Sometimes, I'll feel completely normal, like I'm not about to yawn... and then I do. Aside from just yawning a LOT, I noticed that almost each time it happens, the priest seems to be looking in my direction, and often sees me yawning. I'm afraid there's some sort of superstition that goes along with it. But at any rate, I'm getting creeped out by the whole idea. I feel like I can't help it! Any ideas?
Lol I used to straight pass out in church. I would get there and make myself comfortable... But when it comes to yawning it can be a number of things:
persistent yawning
1. Other people near you have yawned (I love using this one... Yawns are like biochemical weapons)
2. Boredom (common cause)
3. Awareness of previous yawn (I think this may be the possible cause in your case. If you think about yawning, and you keep thinking "don't yawn dont yawn" etc then you'll yawn)

It could be anything though... Disturbed sleep patterns etc... I personally think that it may be the fact that you are in a room with a bunch of other people, and people breath out carbon dioxide and yawning is also caused by an excess of carbon dioxide rather than oxygen in the blood, so you yawn in order to get more oxygen... MAYBE, your church is poisoning you =P just a joke.
That mean's your acutally not getting enuogh oxygen flowing in your body, the yawning helps get xtra 02 flowing; and it may also signal that you're unconciously getting bored lol
The spirit of future athpersistent yawningeism has possessed your jaw. It's trying to tell you that there are more interesting things that you could be doing on your time off.
You yawn because your subconscious realizes it is a boring and pointless waste of time
The last time I had to go to church I was fourteen or fifteen and the same exact thing happened. Honestly, church is a waste of time..unless you meet someone special I guess (besides the god thing).
The mass is so boring that you can't help but yawn. Thats all it means.
Come to one of my revival services- I Guarantee you will not be bored.
I had that problem and I stopped going to church. I stopped being bored right away.
that happens to me too, every time i open my mouth to sing, i yawn.
It's boring there.
chew gum. it always works
