Disclaimer, honestly I don't know.
But I once asked this sort of question regarding hiccups, and some of the answers I got were that it's something of a vestigial reflex from birth, when you take your first breaths.

I was told it's due to your brain needing more oxygen?

Contagious yawning is so weird! Even writing about it makes it happen! I used to take a med that made me yawn a lot. That was super annoying. Some people with autism don't catch it.

My housemate had a cat that, when you yawned, would look at you, and as soon as you were done, it would do a special meow. When fake yawning, the cat knew it was fake, no matter how well it was faked.

Ohh I never tested that perhaps my dogs that didn't do it knew it was fake?

Not an expert but I remember it was slmething among the lines of accelerating your heartbeat and increasing the air intake. So the blood circulation is improved which activates some parts of your body and you feel more awake.
