We have all been there. We are stuck in a meeting or in a lecture and it is boring us to tears but we need to try to remain polite and/or professional as possible. This is partly because our brains become less active when we are bored, and this causes the temperature to drop.

We do not want to show that we are bored but we start yawning and this can reveal our boredom to others. We might try to hide it by covering our mouths with our hands but all too often it is noticed. If you do find yourself feeling bored, then try to really pay attention to what is being said and this might help wake you up a little.
