Seeing running water makes you want to go, it's the same with yawning, it's an involuntary reaction to seeing someone else do it before you. \nAn Auto suggestive sequence and it can spread.

If what Bean and KD Baby said were true that our bodies make us yawn to drawn in needed oxygen, wouldn't we yawn during exercise?\nIn the dictionary, yawning is said to be caused by boredom, fatigue or drowsiness. Although we do tend to yawn when bored or tired, this theory doesn't explain why Olympic athletes yawn right before they compete in their event. It's doubtful that they are bored with the world watching them.  The simple truth is that even though humans have been yawning for possibly as long as they have existed, we have no clue as to why we do it, so maybe yawning is triggered by some area of the brain we have yet to discover. We do know that yawning is not limited to man. Cats, dogs, even fish yawn, which leads us back to the idea that yawning is some form of communication.

Well, I don't know why yawns are contagious because scientists really don't know what cause yawn's in the first place. However, on a lesser level, I believe yawns are contagious because when you see someone yawn, you tend to think of how tired you are. Therefore, you yawn too. And plus it is pretty amusing when you have a yawn fest with someone and just cannot stop yawning back and forth.\nHope this helps!\n\nP.S. I yawned while writing this...twice actually ;)

It is a "associative" reaction. You see someone yawn and it triggers the same reaction because in our experience yawning represents being tired. We therefore associate yawning by others or ourself with being tired.\n\nI get a similar associative reaction when my daughters and I say the Lord's Prayer every night at bedtime. Halfway thru the prayer they will both yawn like clockwork. They both associate the prayer with being sleepy. Puts them right to sleep every time!

What a shame. So many incorrect answers.\n\nJim and I versus Jim and Me\nFor some writers and speakers, the case of a pronoun becomes especially troublesome when that pronoun is compounded with something or someone else. When the pronoun is being used as a subject, there is usually no problem:\n\nJim and I are playing tennis this afternoon.\nJim and she are playing tennis this afternoon.\nWe learn this lesson so well — getting cuffed on the ears and being forced to stand in the corner when we say "Jim and me are playing tennis. . . " — that when the object form of the pronoun is truly called for, we're apt to come up with the subject form instead, as in "Grandma left Jim and I her rocking chair," which is bad form, indeed. \n\nThere is a simple rule here that seems to work very well, at least in writing. Ask yourself what pronoun form you would use without adding the other person — "Grandma left me her rocking chair" (coming up with the correct form for the indirect object) — and then, when you add the other person, don't change the form of the pronoun: "Grandma left Jim and me her rocking chair." \n\nThis rule works whether the pronoun is being used as an indirect object, as above, as a direct object — "The policeman stopped Jim and me" — or as the object of a preposition — "Grandma gave her rocking chair to Jim and me." Some writers and speakers will mistakenly say "This is just between Jim and I," not realizing that the preposition "between" calls for the object form of both pronouns, including "me."\n\nThe rule also pertains to sentences in which a pronoun is compounded with yet another pronoun: "Grandma gave her rocking chair to him and me, but that's just between you and me."\n\nNotice that when "I" is compounded with another subject, the "other person" or people get first billing: "Jim and I are playing," not "I and Jim." This is one of the very few polite forms in English.

It’s widely assumed that yawning occurs because we are tired or bored or because we see someone else doing it, but there isn’t any hard evidence to support these beliefs.\n\nThe most plausible explanation, and the one that is taught in medical school, is that we yawn because oxygen levels in our lungs are low. Studies have shown that during normal, at-rest breathing, we don’t use anywhere near our lung capacity; for the most part, we just use the air sacs at the bottom of the lungs. If the air sacs, called alveoli, don’t get fresh air, they partially collapse and the lungs stiffen a bit. As a result, it’s believed, our brain prompts the body to either sigh or take a yawn to get more air into the lungs

The yawn reflex is often described as contagious: if one person yawns, this will cause another person to "sympathetically" yawn.[2] The reasons for this are unclear; however, recent research suggests that yawning might be a herd instinct.[3] Other theories suggest that the yawn serves to synchronize mood behavior among gregarious animals, similar to the howling of the wolf pack during a full moon. It signals tiredness to other members of the group in order to synchronize sleeping patterns and periods of activity. It can serve as a warning in displaying large, canine teeth. This phenomenon has been observed among various primates. The threat gesture is a way of maintaining order in the primates' social structure. The contagion of yawning is interspecific (i.e., try yawning in front of your dog). Yawning in public is generally regarded as impolite in the West, but came into fashion in polite French society for a brief period in the late 18th century. Oddly, sometimes sympathetic yawning may be caused by simply looking at a picture of a person or animal yawning, or even seeing the word "yawn".

A long-standing theory is that yawning is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen in the blood. The brain stem detects this and triggers the yawn reflex. The mouth stretches wide and the lungs inhale deeply, bringing oxygen into the lungs and thence to the bloodstream. \n\n\nIt is almost certain however, that this hypothesis is not correct; a more recent theory is that yawning is used for regulation of body temperature. \n\n\nAnother theory is that yawns are caused by the same chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain that affect emotions, mood, appetite and other phenomena. These chemicals include serotonin, dopamine, glutamic acid and nitric oxide. \nAs more of these compounds are activated in the brain, the frequency of yawning increases. Conversely, a greater presence in the brain of opiate neurotransmitters such as endorphins, reduces the frequency of yawning.

It depends on what you're trying to say, the first one is saying that\nIm one of many people in the barracks, and many of those people are tired. The second one is creating a situation in which it seems that only Im one of many people, but we are only tired in the barracks.\n\nSo based on that, and what i think you meant, I think you should pick the first one
