When i practise singing, i start to yawn, Is this due to taking in too much air in the lungs?

Answer 1

The best way to stop the yawning will most likely be to drink plenty of water. Water or hydration is also a big key in developing a healthy voice anyway.

But to help clarify the yawning part I did soome research.
One theory I have found says that yawning is similar to stretching. Stretching, like yawning, increases blood pressure and heart rate while also flexing many muscles and joints.

It is also theorized that yawning helps redistribute an oil-like substance which coats the lungs and aids breathing. Some have observed that if one tries to stifle or prevent a yawn by clenching one's jaws shut, the yawn is unsatisfying. As such, the stretching of jaw and face muscles seems to be necessary for a satisfactory yawn.

A previous long-standing hypothesis is that yawning is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen in the blood. The brain stem detects this and triggers the yawn reflex. The mouth stretches wide and the lungs inhale deeply, bringing oxygen into the lungs and hence to the bloodstream. It is almost certain, however, that this hypothesis is incorrect. One study has documented that this effect does not exist

Answer 2

No.
THE TRUTH IS that we don’t completely understand why people, or animals for that matter, yawn. It’s widely assumed that yawning occurs because we are tired or bored or because we see someone else doing it, but there isn’t any hard evidence to support these beliefs.

The most plausible explanation, and the one that is taught in medical school, is that we yawn because oxygen levels in our lungs are low. Studies have shown that during normal, at-rest breathing, we don’t use anywhere near our lung capacity; for the most part, we just use the air sacs at the bottom of the lungs. If the air sacs, called alveoli, don’t get fresh air, they partially collapse and the lungs stiffen a bit. As a result, it’s believed, our brain prompts the body to either sigh or take a yawn to get more air into the lungs.

But certain aspects of yawning remain even more mysterious. Fetuses, for instances, have been observed yawning in the womb, yet it’s known that they don’t take oxygen in through their lungs. And yawning seems to be a symptom of multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions, for reasons unclear.

Another puzzling phenomenon is that some male animals, men included, yawn in association with penile erection (although it’s presumptuous to assume they’re bored with their sex lives).

Answer 3

I take singing lessons and this happens to me as well. It is natural - it is usually caused by breathing in while opening wide. Dont worry about it - When I asked my teacher about it she said that eventually the erge to yawn will fade.

I hope I helped!

This may sound crazy, but did you know that the first sign of dehydration is fatigue? (ie., yawning) try getting adequate amounts of water regularly and you will see a difference. Definitely worth a try, right?

Answer 5

its because you are lifting your soft palot in the back of your mouth
