Common causes of frequent yawning may include prolonged physical exhaustion, insufficient sleep, or inadequate cerebral blood supply. Patients with neurasthenia are also prone to excessive yawning, often accompanied by symptoms such as mental fatigue and lethargy. Persistent yawning should also raise suspicion for intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial infection, warranting further diagnostic evaluation.
