It's just an urban legend. Realistically, the average number of spiders swallowed at night per person per lifetime is probably less than one.
I have read that the average person eats about 12 spiders per year in their sleep.
yes! its true you do eat spiders every night but the sick thing is is that you eat at the most 50 a year i don't know how nearly everyone eats them coz most people sleep with there mouth closed...strange :D.
No,we do not but it is in fact true that we eat 8 microscopic spiders every night u go to sleep for aproximitly at least 5 hours
A common urban legend passed around via email is that that average person will swallow 8 spiders while sleeping during their lifetime.This is true. It isa "statistic" made up for the sole purpose of being passed around on the internet to gross people out. Although it is disgusting many need spiders to survive.See the related links section for the Snopes article about it.
you eat about 7-8 a yearActually it's a myth. There is no scientific or medical proof that spiders crawl into humans mouths as they sleep. It's not 4 spiders a year and it's not a pound of spiders in a lifetime, it's just plain untrue
You eat around 12 spiders a year.
Actually, In your sleep, you swallow about five spiders a year. So it's not harmful at all. Plus, they are a good source of protein.
I heard somewhere that the spiders lives for about a year.

This is an urban myth. In order for a sleeping person to swallow a live spider there would involve many highly unlikely circumstances. There are no formal scientific or medical records of anyone ever swallowing a spider while sleeping.
Albert Einstein did not function on only 3 hours of sleep a year. This is a myth and not true. Einstein, like most people, needed a normal amount of sleep to function properly.
