    Yeah it's like laughing. When people laugh, you laugh even if you don't find something that funny. When people yawn, you yawn after a while subconciously even if you're not tired. Of course this only works some of the time :) x

    Apparently yes. The sight of someone yawning, usually starts other people yawning too..
