Yawning

Myoclonic jerks


This refers to that strange feeling when you lie down to go to sleep, and as you start to drift off your body is jolted for a second by what seems like an electric shock. In this moment, all of your muscles spasm so strongly that you almost fall out of bed, and you wake up straightaway.

This phenomenon is the result of the fact that when you begin to fall asleep, the frequency of your breathing rapidly falls, whilst your pulse slows down only very slightly and your muscles are relaxed. Amazingly, your brain interprets these developments as heralding death. So it tries to save you by giving you a jolt.
never knew my brain was this cool, thanks for trying to save me brainy

Op, thanjs so much for this information. It's really educative. I want to ask though. There is this thing that always happens to me. My body shakes for like 2 seconds as if electric shock passed through me early morning whenever I wake up and want to wee wee. Does it happen to anyone else. Or it's just me.

Goosebumps

The primary function of goosebumps is to reduce the amount of heat our bodies lose through the pores of our skin, which then makes it easier to warm ourselves in inhospitable climatic conditions.
These goose bumps remind me of the moment i tickled Amaka's tips. grin

Stretching

We instinctively stretch in order to prepare our bodies for the physical loads we expect them to take during the day. At the same time, stretching works the muscles, restores blood flow, and improves our mood.

Sneezing

Usually, we sneeze when our nasal passages fill up with too many allergens, microbes, dust, or other irritants. Sneezing is the body’s way of getting rid of this "trash."
In order word, don't suppress it. Open your mouth and let it out grin grin
