A member asked:

Yawning a lot through out the day. sometimes back to back. would waking up multiple times mid night cause this? can cold air in my office cause it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yawning: Yawning normally indicates sleepiness. It may occur when you are tired or otherwise do not have enough sleep. Waking up many times at night may cause you to feel sleepy the next day or so. Cold air should not make you yawn more. People with sleep apnea wake up many times at night, snore, yawn and fall asleep quickly.
