I have a question for you Martin. A of of times I’ll be watching TV, reading or doing something in the chair and I’ll start yawning. A lot. Is yawning a sign of sleepiness?

[Martin Reed]

It can be, but I don’t think it’s a very good sign of sleepiness — because we can yawn any time during the day as soon as we see someone else yawn!

If you’re reading, a common cue for sleepiness will be reading the same line over and over again, or reading an entire page and not remembering any of what you just read.

Other cues can be things like your head dropping down, heavy eyes, or struggling to keep your eyes open.

Have you seen this video from my YouTube channel? It might help:

Thanks Martin. Yes, I did see that video. In thinking about it, you are probably right as I remember before I had insomnia yawning during the day but it didn’t mean I was really tired.
