Yawning does not invalidate the ritual prayers (salat), although it is better manners to avoid excessive yawning if possible.
If you are very sleepy and have time to take a nap before the salat time ends, you can do that too.
There are some hadith narrated from Abu Hurayra along the lines that yawning and sneezing are from Shaytan. Some Sunni Muslims accept these hadith. Shi'i Muslims usually reject these hadith as incorrect/untrue (that is, in the Shi'i view, yawning and sneezing do not come from Shaytan). You may select whatever viewpoint is suitable for you (and Allah knows best).
