Commentary
Yawning is a sign of laziness, idleness and of heedlessness, which is normally a result of over eating, due to which a person loses interest in work and he performs the work unhappily; and the Satan likes this condition. Therefore one should try one's best to avoid it and to stop it, either by closing the mouth or by putting a hand over the mouth.
