Are you about to yawn sweetly? Yawning, of course, is useful - it helps us to cheer up a little. But sometimes yawning catches by surprise, the more this phenomenon is terribly contagious. But don't worry! In this article, you will find some helpful tips to help you stop yawning.

Steps

1. 1 Breathe through your nose. Scientists at Princeton University have discovered that yawning is a kind of device for regulating brain temperature. Breathing through your nose will cool the blood in your nasal capillaries and is more likely to stop yawning.
   • If you feel like you’re about to yawn, immediately take a few deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
2. 2 Drink something cold. This will help lower your body temperature a little, and the yawning will stop.
   • If you're in a stuffy room, keep a bottle of cold water with you and drink whenever you feel like you're about to yawn.
3. 3 Eat something cold. For example, watermelon, cold vegetables, ice cream - all this cools the body and stops yawning.
4. 4 Apply a cold compress to your forehead or neck. This will not only stop yawning, but it will also cheer you up.
5. 5 Ventilate the room. Whenever possible, ventilate your room or work space, even in winter when you just want to wrap yourself up in something warm. This will reduce the likelihood of yawning.
6. 6 As soon as you feel that you are no longer able to contain the attack of yawning, press your tongue against the upper palate. This does not always help, but if you are at a meeting or a lecture, and you do not have the opportunity to eat or drink something cold, then it is better, as they say, to have at least some way than to have none at all.

Tips

• Sometimes you can restrain yawning by lightly biting your lip.
