Sepia Posted January 8, 2014 Share I have done a search but to no avail.My question is, yawning when riding, especially when stopped. Is this "normal" and am I doing anything wrong?It does not matter what distance, time of day or intensity.Jeez, am I going to sleep on my bike!

Guest Latent Blue Posted January 8, 2014 Share Haha. Im sorry but that is funny. Uawning is in part a compensatory mechanism for increased CO2 due to decreased resporatory rate and decrease activity of the RAS in your brain (hence yawning in the evenings).It might be that you are just a shallow breather and that your yawn 'reflex' is quick to respond.Might thus be normal. (Disclaimer: if yawning is excessive it might be a harbinger of pathology in the brain, though unlikely) lucmccann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinSpangenberg Posted January 8, 2014 Share I yawn when I am nervous, is that because I don't breathe as I should because of the stress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted January 8, 2014 Share I think it could be due to lack/increase of Oxygen, I often have this when I'm performing stretches where I'm doing deep inhales & exhales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kona Kula Posted January 9, 2014 Share Go watch the start of any big race, 90 percent of the competitors will be yawning before the start. Its quite common. That's usually from nerves and your brain telling your body you need more oxygen, I guess for whats to come. The other comment about the increase in CO2 could also apply for you. When you stop riding perhaps its your bodies way of clearing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
