Excessive yawning can be a self soothing behaviour, is something troubling you? |

Low b12 and low iron case excessive yawning. It's when the body is starved of oxygen it tries to maximise the amount u take in by yawning so you will then take a bigger in breath. |

Perhaps you’re not actually sleeping properly when asleep and hence still tired. The sleep analysis things on Fitbits or equivalents are quite useful, and a follow up with GP if sleep apnea might be an issue. |

Are sharing a flat with someone else that yawns? Apparently yawning triggers a mechanism in our brain that sets someone in close proximity to follow suite, allegedly, however I'm no rocket scientist, so what would I know  |

I would advise seeing your GP.
I'm in no way saying that my experience applies to you but after ignoring it for ages and starting to see other related signs went for a test and found I had type 2 diabetes. Again, I'm in no way suggesting your tiredness is like mine but had i decided to see my dr sooner i might have caught mine earlier.
Type 2 is still totally manageable and I'm less tired now with the tablets they give me, I'm excercising more, sugar cut out and now on a high fat/low carb portion controlled diet ignoring calories and weight is slowly coming off and I'm feeling much better... Oh and drink lots of water |

"Anemic?
That has been mentioned,that's lack of iron if I'm correct? "
Can be iron, any combination of B vitamins or both. Get tested and at the same time check for diabetes too. |

Are you able to drive with that condition and how’s the treatment? |

I stopped breathing 116 times per hour. I was given a CPAP machine & within 2 weeks it reduced to under 6 times per hour. Currently around 3 times. Under 5 is fine. I can drive but I do less than 7 miles a day anyway. I rarely need to do long journeys & never drive over an hour without a break. Mine is obstructive - my airway collapses when I lie on my back. I have OSA Disorder think if you have OSA Syndrome you can’t drive

Get tested for sleep apnoea or at the least download a sleep tracking app. Might give you some clues. |

Wow, and do you have to use the CPAP machine every night forever, or could you come off it once you got down to 6?
