Personally I have noticed that many times. Even at work from time to time when someone in the room yawns, you will see people next to them, or sometimes even across the room yawn, and it is amazing. It could be just because everyone is tired, but I think it is just a natural common reaction and everyone just catches a wiff of it and decides that is not a Bad thing to do so they in turn do it as well.

Hi KrauseHome Thanks for passing by and sharing with the a=other members your idea and I am sure its will help someone.Tireness also contributes to yawning.

Hi mking! It is true that yawning is contagious.. I cannot stop myself from yawning, if I see someone yawning in front of me. I know that it looks too bad to yawn at a public place, however, sometimes I cannot restrict myself and if my partner is with me, she gets very angry at me for lack of manners...........lol!

Busy, Busy, Busy!! None of us are really getting enough sleep. When we see someone yawn, it's a reminder that we really should be sleeping more. A couple extra hours shut eye would probably do me good. Goodnight.

Hi bird123 That is quit interesting but what if you hard slept for 8 hours,When you walk up an immediately you see someone yawning will go back to bed when you had already had a good sleep.That person may be tired but yawning just happens you are never prepared when it comes

Yup, its contagious. I know, the Myth Busters already proven this on their show. they didn't have a scientific explanation though.
