Study reveals awkward yawning moments for Brits in everyday life

A new study by Bensons for Beds has identified the most awkward moments for yawning among Brits. Common situations include job interviews, weddings, and meeting a partner's parents. The research surveyed 2,000 adults and highlighted that tiredness is the main cause of yawning. The study found that the average adult yawns five times a day, with peak times in the evening and afternoon. Boredom and stress also contribute to yawning, with many admitting to yawning when they see others do it. Despite the potential embarrassment, nearly half of those surveyed believe yawning is involuntary and should not be criticized. Many reported feeling more alert after yawning, linking it to the release of mood-enhancing chemicals.
