I don't know if they actually sleep in the way humans sleep, but I have a large orb-weaver that has taken up residence outside my front door. It has built a beautiful orb-shaped web, (the big round ones we usually think of, when we think of spider webs), which it sits in the middle of during the evening and night hours.
When it's really cold outside, or during the day, it retreats to the soffits (underside of the eaves) above the web, and just huddles there with its legs pulled in close to its body. I'm guessing it's going through some kind of rest period. It's obviously not doing the kind of thing lizards and snakes do, when they're only active during warmer times of day. It's very inactive until evening.
Mammals sleep..
No, when you sleep you do not "eta" spiders.
Ants don't.

Spider Monkeys are not nocturnal because they don't sleep at mornings. They are like other monkeys and humans.
Spiders typically sleep in hidden and sheltered spots during the day, such as in cracks, crevices, or corners of buildings, under leaves, or in burrows.
Yes, you do eat spiders in your sleep. Spiders like wet, damp, dry places. When you sleep with your mouth open, they crawl in and wake you up. Your instincs are to swallow once you wake up, so there goes the spider! Whether or not you eat 8, we are not posotive of the exact number. Hope this helps! :)
Yes, it is true that Snopes has debunked the myth that people unknowingly eat spiders while they sleep.
spiders eat insects and birds. some bigger types eat children. They can even kill you in your sleep!
A great number of things from dust to spiders
Spiders do not have a centralized brain and do not experience sleep in the same way that mammals do. They rest periodically throughout the day and night, becoming less active during the daytime and more so at night.
Spiders don't purposely seek out humans to crawl on while they sleep. They are more likely just passing through looking for food or shelter. If you find spiders in your bedroom, it's most likely because they wandered in by accident or were attracted to the warmth and darkness.
