Guardian:
你这上午十点要给大二上课呢 (Zhao Yunlan knows Shen Wei's schedule)
汪徵,你查一下昨天三点到五点之间谁许放鞭炮的区域 (narrowing down the time)
My practice:
我应该起床在六点,但结果我是起床在七点半的.

…so I went to Baidu this, because of course I did, and apparently 打呵欠-ing is the original meaning of 欠 (象形 pictogram of a kneeling person with mouth open, per Wiktionary). The "lack of ~" meanings were then derived because yawning happens when one is low on energy… though I think it's the most commonly used meaning in both JP and CN now LOL
