Not to worry!: Interestingly, we still don't really know why we yawn. The obvious reason is because we're tired. There is also a theory that it helps to cool the brain when we over use it! holding in a yawn isn't dangerous. Holding in a sneeze is hard on the system because that increases the pressure in the chest.
