People like 'jtaylor1' who are under stress might think that way, but the truth is yawning is due to lack of sleep or tiredness soliciting rest.

Tiredness, stress, lack of sleep, lack of oxygen and dehydration causes yawning.

yes, it can be
1. A sudden, deep inhalation of air accompanied by an open mouth, tightened cheek muscles, eye closure, and tearing. 2. An involuntary deep breath due to sleepiness, fatigue, boredom, or emotional conflict. 3. A socially contagious gaping behavior, often difficult to suppress.
Usage: Usually a sign of drowsiness, yawning also occurs, e.g., in tense business meetings as a sign of mild anxiety, disagreement, or uncertainty. When alert listeners yawn in response to controversial ideas or suggestions, the yawn signals a probing point, an opportunity to explore unverbalized objections or to clarify unvoiced concerns

No. It is tiredness that causes yawning.

I have never thought about it before, but it makes sense. When you are stressed you don't sleep as well. You are constantly thinking, "What will go wrong."
