Other Answers:
breathe deeply.

Yawning is cause by a lack of oxygen in your system. Go out and get some fresh air. Take a few deep breaths, and you won't have the tendency to yawn that much,if at all anymore.

You yawn when your body needs oxygen, so breathing exercises and drinking lots of water will help, along with making sure that you get enough DEEP sleep at night. Sleeping 8 hours a night doesn't do you any good if you only get it 2 hours at a time.

to stop excessive you need to get the amount of sleep you need.

I had excessive yawning when I took an anti-depressant medication, Paxil. I was yawning ALL of the time. If by any chance you are taking that med, or some other that you started around the same time you started yawning all of the time..it might be worth it to ask you doc/switch your med. As soon I switched to Celexa, the yawning disappeared.

Hope this helps.
