when reading bedtime stories do you constantly yawn?

I do and just noticed my DH does too.. so just curious. haha

[Txcorey]

No, but I feel like I constantly clear my throat. Strange since I don't do that the rest of the day.

[misfitinmn]

I am pretty much in a constant state of yawn. haha!

Anytime I read aloud, or often, when I sing my son to sleep, I'm yawning so bad I can hardly get through it.

P.S. Thanks. This post made me yawn.

[k23m]

ha ha...yup, me too!! Almost every time...

[sprauncey1]

Yep! Its like it is subconscious way to say...go to sleep kiddos, I'm tired! Course then afterward I usually catch a second wind and stay up too late!

[Kat Stokes]

Yep! I have a really hard time reading out loud without yawning.

[farrijc]

I don't think that I do, but I'll pay better attention now to verify! lol

my son is 8 and he has to read a short 5 minute story to me each night for homework. Seriously, I'm always nodding off toward the end. I wish I could have him read it to me about 11pm at night so I could go fall asleep!

I do it whenever I have to read out loud. And yes, I am usually tired, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I remember growing up, my mom always did this. I don't do it when I read for my son at night, except for in the early mornings. I can't read books out loud the first hour or so after waking up.

hahah... how that I think of it, yes, I do... but it doesn't happen during the middle of the day when I'm reading to kiddo... only at night.

I remember when I was a kid and I would be reading to my mom and she would be "sleeping"... I'd bump her and say, "are you sleeping?!!?" Mom - "no" Me - "well, what was the last thing I read?" Luckily, Mom would "wake" right before I noticed her nodding off...

It's not just bedtime LOL I read to the boys tons during the day for school, and I'm constantly yawning through all of it!

[kim21673]

All the time! LOL

When I taught first grade I used to yawn when I read too!!

[chocochoco]

Yeah! Happens to me almost every time

[iScrap]

My DH and I both do it, too! What's awful is that we're almost always ready for bed afterwards and the girls are still wide awake. Then we're just grumpy. lolol

[mpatry]

Only if I'm reading in the evening - during the bedtime story. :P

[xboxmom]

My eyes water when I read to the kids. Not sure if its exhaustion or eye strain or the fact that my voice is a lot higher when I read to them out loud. I always try to make it more interesting by doing different voices for the different characters I am reading....but lately we havent been doing bed time stories because we have all been going to be WAY too late.

[cardinalskate]

I seriously thought this was only me! I yawn all throughout bedtime stories. And I try to suppress them, which really only makes them last longer.

[jacinda]

Yes, definitely. I can get through 2 shortish books, then I give up. Better that I'm not lying down and reading too, LOL.

I have to dictate for my job and about a year ago I was sort of reading my kids a bedtime story and sort of dozing off to sleep. Apparently, I ended the story with "End of Dictation" instead of "The End". My daughter said "Mom, what does end of dictation mean" and I immediately realized my mistake. Now its a big joke in our house to end our bedtime story with "End of Dictation". You know, I should really scrap this memory and I happen to already own "Bookworm"....
