I do that to, it gets distracting, i think its normal,

i do that,it sucks when u cant stop thinking about it,very annoying

I have friends that fake-yawn. I hate those fuckers.

You all should of think of something better. Like Unicorns being boiled alive in a vat of animal lard that has been rendered from baby mice. Then they are flash fried, then chewed in the left side of me mouth. Yummy.

Anyway. These autonomic bodily functions are dual controlled.(automatic and at will)
Keep your brains clear in case you need it.

What is a fake yawn? Is a yawn that you have on purpose somehow less valid than a yawn that you're not thinking about? It's often a good idea to yawn when one's ears are stuffed up. I hate you.

OMG! I always have the problem of thinking about my breathing and then breathing myself and etc etc when trying to sleep. It drives me nuts, honestly. I really am so tired but I just can't sleep because i'm too busy breathing. Also, when I speak sometimes I get very aware of my throat and it gets all weird feeling and I need to swallow continuously. It's the breathing that really gets me though. It's like there'll be a month where it feels like I'm always having to breathe for myself and think about it and I'm driven nuts, but then a month will pass where I can't remember it happening at all.

It's good to breathe consciously then allow it to happen unconsciously... Most people breathe from their chest, it's not the best way to breathe! You're supposed to breathe from your stomache to get more oxygen to your HEAD! Oxygen is what you need or you will die!

I don't know why people fake yawn either, unless it's for your ears lol... It's like -- Hey I just want to make a noise for the sake of it so I will be noticed by someone... I know someone who does this and it's like WHAT A BIG FAT FAILURE!

oh see now you've got me thinking about it!! lol

i used to do that all the time when I was little. I hated it. now I got out of it though. I can think about breathing and just stop thinking about it and not have to worry about it anymore.

at least you don't forget to breathe like me.

sometimes ill be working on my moms car and ill stop breathing and i dont know why but i keep on standing there. i try to breath but i cant . so i dont think about it and keep working and i start to breath again. but i also think its because i smoke too much. just like my mom and almost everyone else on my moms side of the family. but anyway its normal. i only know a couple of p[eople who do it but they dont want to admit it man. so i hope this helps.

It's totally normal.

Damn annoying though.

i do the blinking and breathing thing the blinking one is worse i reckon

oh well faggot

All the people who are saying this is stupid are simply too stupid themselves to comprehend what is being said here.
I've had a mild case of OCD for years, and I just got this problem myself today.. while driving! I'm so pissed off. I'm hoping I'll be able to distract myself and forget about it. Good to see I'm not alone, and others have survived having it for so long. If this stays with me though, I'm gonna kill myself.

I do the breathing thing too. It's so annoying. Urrg.

Thank you very much for inadvertently making me breathe consciously. Damnit.

YEH same its fkin driving mE fkin BONKERS up the wall i guess it can be due to stress ? and it making you stress about it which makes you think about it more, also heard that you can get hypnosis to sort you head out with things like this.
