I don't have narcolepsy. That would be terrible. My children and husband would have to step over me as I suddenly fell into a deep sleep where ever I happened to land my 5 foot 10 body. It would be ugly. I would never get anything done. Ever. On the other hand, I probably wouldn't yawn so much because I would be asleep.
I cannot stop yawning. I am not tired, I just can't stop yawning. I appear to be bored with what ever task I am involved with, but I am not. Isn't that typically what yawing indicates, sleepiness and boredom?
I yawn through my son's baseball game even if they are ahead in the score, in the car on the way to church, during church [oops], at the dinner table, writing blog posts, and while I am taking a shower. Do I need more oxygen? I need something!
Today seems better. Maybe I got more sleep last night than I did the night before. My yawn count seems more manageable. I just hope I don't start sneezing. Incessant sneezing would be terrible.

Why is it when we see someone yawn it makes us yawn? Or is that just me?
This reminds me of when I was in chemistry class in college. Every time the professor looked at me I was yawning. It was so embarrassing that I started trying to hold them back. You make weird faces when you do this so he probably didn't know what to think about me.
I heard that we yawn because when we're tired we tend to take shallow breaths and our body compensates for a lack of oxygen.
Breath deeply, but don't hyperventilate. On the other hand, that'd make a great post too.
