Is this just me? Reading and Yawning

Every time I read out loud to my children I yawn. Massive yawns every few minutes. My son is 10 and it’s happened this entire time. It’s so bizarre.

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just weird?

It's breath control. You are not breathing like you would if you are relaxed so your body prompts you to take massive breaths.

Me too.
Reading aloud always makes me yawn.

Possibly just tiredness, and associating reading to kids with bedtime. 😀
