Arachnids and insects quiescent periods are controlled by light as well as temperature. They tend to like warmth and bright light, so most 'sleep' at night.

Where do spiders come from when you sleep?

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.


Is it true that you eat 10 spiders in your life when your sleeping?

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! :)

Do humans eat spiders in their sleep?

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.

What does it mean to have Sleep paralysis with spiders?

Sleep paralysis with spiders refers to a phenomenon where a person experiences the inability to move or speak while waking up or falling asleep, often accompanied by vivid hallucinations of spiders or other creatures. This can evoke intense fear and anxiety, as the individual may feel as though they are being attacked or overwhelmed. Such experiences are linked to the brain's transition between sleep and wakefulness, where the mind is active but the body remains in a state of temporary paralysis. It's often associated with sleep disorders, stress, and disrupted sleep patterns.
