Would yawning be possible if you're very deprived of sleep?

I mean, it's meant to keep you alert etc, but if the body wants you to sleep yawning would be counter-intuitive

Because supplying oxygen to your brain is more important than sleep

Having been sleep deprived for over 72 hours, yes, you can definitely still yawn.

Get educated

Yawning also makes you alert
