Is it true that Yawning is a reliable sign that a person is tired?
Partly. Some sources associate yawning with drowsiness or sleepiness, while a neurology review notes yawning can also signal numerous other conditions, so the evidence only partly addresses whether yawning reliably indicates tiredness.
