This is me today. Yawn. Remember when you were in kindergarten and you got to curl up on a blanket and take a nap during the school day? I think there is good reason to continue that practice throughout school and into the workforce. I think workers and students alike would be much more productive if they were able to take a cat nap in the afternoon.




Take this cat for example, 10 minutes in that bus and he is up and ready to go again. Suddenly his energy for chasing mice has returned and he is much more productive for the rest of the day.




Now I've heard that yawning is your body's way of bringing in extra oxygen to help give you more energy. Hm. Shouldn't I feel much more energized now since I've yawned about 10 times since starting this sentence? Why is it that nodding off usually follows the yawn?






Yawning is a funny thing. Everybody has different yawn faces. Some people open up wide and let all their fillings show. While others try to hold the yawn in until the pressure forces their lips apart like a surprised fish.






Yawns are contageous. Whether you see someone yawn, hear the word yawn or read it, you can bet you'll be yawning soon. Are you yawning yet?









I think I'll take this lady's cue and go take a
rest on the bench down the street.
