is there something wrong with my dragon?

I spend a lot of time with my animals so I can tell when something is different or not quite right my beardie diji has been sleeping way more than usual, he isn't really interested in food, and does this yawning type thing I also think he may be dehydrated but I do let him soak in the tub like once a week maybe I'm just paranoid but can somebody please tell me something I would greatly appreciate it thanks!

sounds to me like he might be going into brumation. How old is he

The same thing happens to mine every year and is normal as long as he doesn't loose weight. This is the time for them to brumate and they tend to be less active. Just keep him in observation.

He is nine months

its a little early for him to go into brumation but that is what it sounds like. I took mine to the vet because of it. lol Its shocking the first time as they are just off a little. Watch to see if there is any weight loss and continue to soak at least once a week. You still need to continue with your light cycle and you can offer food. Every brumation is different for every beardie. Some you could even give a bath to and they wont wake up and some still want to eat a little here and there. Just make sure if he does eat that he basks a bit to digest his food.
