First of all, let’s be clear that yawning is a physiological phenomenon that increases the oxygen supply to the brain and helps us stay awake. However, it is also often seen as a sign of fatigue and listlessness. While frequent yawning may be a sign of sleep deprivation, the two are not identical.
Lack of sleep does affect how often you yawn, but it’s not the only factor. Studies have shown that in addition to lack of sleep, environmental pollution, lack of exercise, long-term sitting, etc. can also affect the frequency of yawning. Also, some medications, such as antidepressants and tranquilizers, can also cause frequent yawning.

Studies have shown that sleep-deprived people are more likely to yawn. However, that doesn’t mean yawning is the only sign of lack of sleep. Some people may get enough sleep, but poor quality, and may still experience frequent yawns. Therefore, we cannot judge whether we lack sleep simply by yawning.
Lack of sleep can have a dramatic effect on how our bodies function. In addition to frequent yawning, other symptoms may also occur, such as headaches, poor concentration, and memory loss.
To sum up, frequent yawning is somewhat related to lack of sleep, but it is not absolute. In addition to lack of sleep, other factors such as environmental pollution and lack of exercise may also cause frequent yawning. Therefore, we cannot judge whether we lack sleep simply by yawning. In order to maintain good health, we should pay attention to the quality and time of our sleep, exercise properly, and avoid sitting for a long time to improve the quality of sleep.
