This tells my body that I am completely awake and I get frustrated so I stop.

Any tips on how to get over this?
I have the exact same thing. I usually repress it, but then I yawn. So I try coping by taking deep breaths throughout. That way I get my supply of oxygen while maintaining a steady breathing pattern.
