My brother has just told me something. When you yawn, his teacher has told him to poke his face, no particluar place, just to poke it (well massage it here and there), this will help oxygen flow to your brain.
If anyone yawns in his lesson and they dont do this, he gives everyone pressups it is a e lesson by the way).
Is there any medical fact in this? Now massaging your head for ten minutes or so will help, but i dont believe that massaging your face for the two seconds you yawn will have any affect. I think his teacher is really laughing at them

I doubt it. The pressure of your capillaries being squeezed will displace blood about maybe a few drops more to the rest of your body and maybe 1/100th of a drop more to your brain.
Try aloe vera. The polysaccharides have been known to allow blood cells to oxygenate the body more readily. This was researched by a university. It has to do with stoping turbulent flow or something.
Or try omega 3 which loosens up cell membranes for more efficient transfer.
Try getting a hepa filter, which takes out dust, pollution, and gives you more natural oxygen. In some cities, you are getting 2% less oxygen due to the pollution.
These are the only SCIENTIFIC ways (not holistic new age pseudoscience) to get more oxygen transfer to your body.

How do you poke your face and yawn at the same time? It would makes me stop yawning.

It's probably one of those psychological things, if you believe it, then it works. A bit like telling your kids that sitting on a newspaper stops them feeling sick in a car.

Is that sitting on newspaper thing just a con? Darn! I'm going to be sick in the car all the time now. ;-)
