The belief that we swallow an average of eight spiders in our sleep every year has become so ingrained in popular culture that many people now accept it as fact. The reality, however, is quite different: we swallow no spiders at all.

Foremost, we’re extremely large compared with spiders, so they tend to view us merely as part of their landscape. Equally important, a wandering spider would find a sleeping human absolutely terrifying because, as we slumber, we tend to make a lot of noise via our heartbeat and breathing. These sounds create vibrations to which spiders are extremely sensitive. As a result, they likely would do all they could to avoid us.

If a spider were to climb onto your face while you slept, the sensation of eight tiny legs on your skin could wake you up very quickly.

So, while it's plausible that you could swallow a spider in your sleep, it's not likely, nor is there any factual evidence that you gulp down eight a year.

SO SLEEP TIGHT WITHOUT ANY WORRY!!
