The placebo (pluh-see-boe) effect, which has been proven to exist in many test says that by simply believing something may happen, your body may experience that thing. For example, if you take a pill for a headache, even if the pill is useless, you might still get rid of your headache simply because you believed the pill would work. This doesnt happen with everything, but this effect is often used extensively in the study of new medication

@MrTree Doesn’t that also apply to yawning? It’s like, you see someone else yawn, and your body thinks that your tired in relation to them, so you have an urge to yawn. Something like that.
