There are times where I take a whole lungful of air, and yet feel like the breath is somehow incomplete, unsatisfying. Other times I may take only a half breath, except there is a point where my lungs will feel as if they are fully expanded to a “satisfying” level, as if I got exactly the breath my body needed in that moment. Is there a known cause of this feeling?
Happens a lot when I yawn. I will yawn to this point where my lungs get this last little extra bit of breath that feels wholly satisfying.

I know exactly what you mean and I have been wondering the same. It has nothing do do with any particular mental state.
It’s like when you feel you need to take a full breath in. You do and either your lungs get full **before** you feel that it is a satisfactory full breath, or you **do** get a satisfactory full breath (lungs full or not). And the difference in “feeling” between the two possible states is very noticeable but in a way that is very hard to convey. It is almost like you have oxygen level meter internally, and the satisfactory feeling comes when the breath you take fills it to green level, so to speak.
