You keep yawning…
But you’re not even tired.
So what gives?

In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook Sheehan invites you to look at yawning through an entirely new lens. Beyond boredom or fatigue, yawning is actually one of your nervous system’s most sophisticated tools for regulation and release.

Whether it’s a subtle cry for oxygen, a digestive distress signal, or an emotional reset your body is begging for, excessive yawning is never random.

This episode explores the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers of this quiet but powerful body cue—and how the bodyOS™ framework can help you finally decode it.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The surprising root causes of excessive yawning (oxygen deprivation, blood sugar crashes, low stomach acid)
• What your nervous system is trying to do every time you yawn
• How yawning becomes emotional release when words can’t be expressed
• Mental overload, digital overwhelm, and the role of overstimulation in yawning
• Why your yawns may be a spiritual whisper of surrender and safety
• How to use bodyOS™ to determine what your body is asking for
• Daily practices to support release, reset, and nervous system regulation
