By lowering brain temperature and maintaining thermal homeostasis, the thermoregulatory theory suggests that instead of prompting sleep, yawning actually serves to maintain focus and attention, thereby antagonizing sleep.
So not concrete but it is one of the prevailing theories for one of the reasons we yawn

I wish mine would have a power off button that I could hold for 5 seconds for a complete reboot.

That's the furrow between your brows

Unattended Active liquid and thermal gradient cooling bro, it's the latest system
it's full of liquid cooling. maybe change the water or upgrade the pump?
Does that mean it is starting to spin or stopping?
Please no, i would never catch sleep ever again.
