• As you look around, notice that one of them yawns. Watch them yawn. Then another one yawns.
• As more people begin to yawn, notice how you feel, and notice that some people are having difficulty keeping their eyes open.
• And now let yourself join in the yawning.
• Notice whether your eyes want to close, and even if your  eyes are already closed, imagine them closing again, imagine them flickering then closing again, over and over again.
