Yawning may be a head cooling method?

's different explanations for the reasons for yawning make the handling of this matter very controversial.

Some people here also believe that yawning is due to hypoxia .

The result of increasing nasal pressure will temporarily block the work of the nasal lacrimal duct to excrete tears. The "sewer" is blocked and the tears cannot flow, and more and more tears accumulate in the eyes. will have tears in her eyes, and finally burst out from her eyes and flow to her face.
