Ah, that old chestnut! Most people will be somewhat relieved to know that the Horror stories about how the average human swallows a varying number of Spiders every year whilst sleeping (the number given varies from teller to teller) seems to be an urban legend fuelled by many people's fear of spiders and insects.
Although it probably does happen occasionally, it's certainly not as common as some people fear and the vast majority of people probably go through life without swallowing any insects or spiders during sleep.
Insects crawling inside a person while sleeping is extremely rare. Most insects are not attracted to humans and prefer to stay away from them. Keeping sleeping areas clean and well-maintained can help prevent any unwanted insect visitors.
You would hope not but apparently its about an average of 8 spiders per week *Average of none you mean. You can't swallow a spider without waking up, and if you were to swallow a spider while sleeping your mouth would have to be open (and facing straight up) very wide, and the spider would have to climb down its silk line perfectly into the back of your throat without touching your lips or tongue. The second it reaches your throat you would have to take a swallow and let it go down.. All in all, it just doesn't happen.
Yes, you can yawn while sleeping, I've seen it done many times.
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.
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.
Humans don't consume anything while sleeping.

There is not a documentary film about swallowing insects while sleeping. This is based on an urban myth and is not true.
Generally, but not always the case. Spit you don't swallow is called drool.
The tree swallow is an insectivore, meaning it primarily feeds on insects. It catches insects while flying and forages for them near water bodies. It is not a herbivore or an omnivore.
Swallows use their beaks to catch and swallow insects while in flight. They do not have a specific body part dedicated solely to swallowing.

In the Book of Tobit in the Bible, Tobit was blinded by bird droppings that fell into his eyes while he was sleeping outside.

Insects are not a part of a buffalo's normal diet, which consists of grass. But they doubtless swallow some insects accidentally while grazing.
It is a myth that people eat a certain number of flies while sleeping. While it's true that insects can sometimes be present in bedrooms, it is extremely rare for someone to unknowingly ingest them while sleeping.
