Brits have been forced to stifle a yawn in a work meeting, when listening to a friend tell a story – and in a job interview.
A study of 2,000 adults revealed the 30 most awkward moments they have been caught yawning, including at a wedding, on a date and even when meeting a partner’s parents.
At a funeral, while giving a presentation and when visiting the dentist also featured in the list.
With a dozy 13 per cent even admitting to having stifled one while a friend was tearfully sharing emotional news.
The stats emerged in a study by Bensons for Beds which commissioned the research to launch its YawnHub [https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/yawnhub/] to help get Brits yawning and feeling good this January.
Sleep expert, Dr Sophie Bostock, working in partnership with the bed company, said: “Contrary to popular belief, yawning can be beneficial – it is associated with the release of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, which can have a stress-relieving effect.”
