I have not seen this in any urban legends or other 'strange event-type literature. The average number of spiders swallowed at night per person per lifetime is probably less than one. After all, most people breathe while they sleep (at least I do) and spiders, like virtually all arthropods, flee from breath. After all, there are lots of vertebrates that EAT arthropods, and if you're an arthropod and something is breathing on you, it's not a good idea to stick around. Simple enough. Let's look at it realistically, for a spider to get into your mouth while you're sleeping, (a) you must have your mouth OPEN, which is certainly not universal, so there's a big chunk of people who can never swallow anything; (b) there has to be a wandering spider in your immediate vicinity, also something which--for most people in the civilized world, at least--is a fairly rare occurrence; (c) the spider has to either jump or fall into your mouth from a long distance, because they won't go near your mouth otherwise (they're not suicidal), and the odds are pretty astronomical of a spider randomly dropping into your mouth from the ceiling.
Put it all together, and it would be a miracle for a spider to end up in anyone's mouth while they're sleeping. That's my take on it.....(smile...mouth closed)

well.
for me, I'd like to see actual documentation that this happens. "yes" doesn't convince me.
I'm pretty skeptical. 1. because I only have seen spiders or webs in my room and house a lot less than 8 times a year. And 2. I know you can't possibly try and keep trac of this, but you're supposed to breathe only through your nose and shouldn't have an "open mouth" problem while you sleep.

When I read it on the internet, it said it was an average of seven spiders a year--less if you make your bed neatly every day, more if you never make your bed. It said that the spiders will actually be in your bed when you go to sleep if you haven't made it.

I don't know how that is possible. I don't even see 7 spiders a year in my house.

That's what the stats say. That doesn't include how many slip into your food while you're eating or while it's being prepared

How would ANYONE know this? But spiders DO drink from your tooth brush at night if you leave it wet after brushing. I know... I've seen them do it!
