We really don’t know. There have been many hypothesis on what yawning is for, but afaik, so far no study has really shown what yawning is for or why we do it.
Latest I’ve read on the topic is that it might be to check that the folks around as do have empathy, as yawning apparently isn’t as infectious to people who are lacking in empathy, but in general it’s still very much an open question.
