Why do I sometimes have to yawn, but it didn't feel complete and I need to yawn again a few seconds later? (feddit.org)

For a good yawn I need to really open my mouth and push/strain my jaw muscles. If that doesnt happen, then the yawn feels incomplete to my body and it happens again and again till it works "right"

What is the reason/body function behind that?

Yawning is so fascinating

It really is. Friend of mine had a cat that would meow in a special way every time a human yawned. We tried endlessly to fool it by fake yawning, but it could tell every time and only meowed during real yawns.
