Why is yawning contagous?


Question:


Answers:
Well, I don't know why yawns are contagious because scientists really don't know what cause yawn's in the first place. However, on a lesser level, I believe yawns are contagious because when you see someone yawn, you tend to think of how tired you are. Therefore, you yawn too. And plus it is pretty amusing when you have a yawn fest with someone and just cannot stop yawning back and forth.
Hope this helps!
