Excessive Yawning

[Eric L]

Hey again fellas,

I do this thing at work every Wednesday when we receive our cylinder shipments...I help the driver load and unload the load which consists of holding cylinders (60-100kg) in an angle in each hand and rolling them together to the desired destination. I do this for roughly one hour, at most I can be doing this for 2 hours....at first when I started working here it was quite hard - but now it's as easy as walking for me....anyhow onto the problem...I excessively yawn when doing this...I feel normal and everything but I keep yawning...I know yawning can be related to things like boredom or a lack of oxygen but I am clueless as to why I keep yawning when doing this...I don't yawn when doing my workouts in the morning...so yeah...I'm clueless....Any ideas?

For those of you who need to know:
I workout 30-40mins every morning which consists of about 10mins of stretching and 20mins a upper body/core/lower body workout.

I am 24 and weigh 192lbs in my shorts. I am 5' 11" (71inches). My caloric intake atm is very VERY low...I'm sure my deficit is near 1000 calories. My total daily caloric intake is approx 2000cals. I was yawning like this even before I started my workout/diet.

Hope to hear from you!

Thanks
Eric

I had a similar problem which was solved by eating something sugary, such as an apple! Worked for me, don't ask me the science behind it though!

So just try eating a *whatever sugary* like 30m-1hr before the time you normally start to yawn and see if that helps!

You may be needing to breath off excess carbon dioxide are you breathing well doing it. You tired?

No, as I said after 5 years of doing this every week it has become very easy....I breath almost as though I was walking...I will try breathing a little more...and I will also try to up my level of glucose a tad bit before doing this to see what happens.

This is kind of a sustained physical endurance workout...I should know what to do since I am studying in fitness and nutrition but...meh...I haven't had the time to put a single damn minute into my studies lately...


Thanks guys.
