ANother bit of trivia, yawning etc. may be the result
of a body reflex related to oxygen. I think that I
read some study or another which indicated that
excessive yawning is an attempt by the body to increase
O2 in the bloodstream. Interesting that O2 inhaled
also helps a lot of cluster victims - maybe related.
Jaw pain and cracking I think is related to tensing
of the muscles as response to pain. I know it is
for me.
