I am 19 and am male. I yawn for 15 minutes while laying down and stretching every morning after I wake up, I don't know why but I just have so many yawns in me that need to get out and if they don't, I'm almost positie my energy levels would be much lower.

I also yawn 15 minutes while stretching and laying down again before working out, and then once more again before sleeping, so about 45 to 50 minutes of this every day..

My main question is, can this be BAD for me in any way in the short term or long term?

Not unless there is some underlying health problem that is causing you to yawn. If you just yawn a lot and are generally healthy, I can't see a problem.

Thank you!

I have heard that all yawning does is get rid of excess carbon dioxide in our bodies... when there's too much we yawn.Yawn around some plants so you don't waste that excess carbon dioxide... and they will give you some oxygen back in return :)

As long as the yawning doesn't cause you an physical issues I don't see that it's a problem. :))
