Why is it that when you yawn, your eyes water? *CONFIRMED*

[iamme]

Any scientific reason for this?

Anyone's eyes NOT water when they yawn?

I think it's like....

yawning = trying to wake up
sleepy = dry eyes

therefore: yawning makes your eyes water to help wake up.

Now, isn't that scientific?

My eyes don't water when I yawn. It's a serious problem.

when i was real young, i'd always be embarassed. because i didn't want people to think i was crying

JC has the most believable explanation so far.

 

[spanky]

sometimes my eyes water when i yawn... sometimes they don't.

 

[iamme]

whenever my contacts get dry, i try real hard to yawn to lubricate them

I think its because the glands for teardrops get squezed when you yawn.

I dont yawn, I just sleep.

when you yawn you un-repress the memories of your sad childhood, and crying results. you girly-man.
