Swallowing eight spiders a year in your sleep is a complete statistical fabrication deliberately invented in the early nineteen-nineties to prove how easily people will believe totally unverified information; spiders actually have zero biological interest in crawling into the warm, damp, heavily breathing cavern of a sleeping human mouth, as the vibrations of our snoring and heartbeats scream massive dangerous predator to their sensitive sensory hairs; the myth became so deeply entrenched in pop culture that millions of people still sleep with the covers pulled tight over their mouths, even though you are vastly more likely to choke on your own saliva or inhale a rogue dust mite than you are to unwittingly consume an arachnid midnight snack; your sleep paralysis demon is absolutely real, but at least the nocturnal mouth-spiders are entirely fictional, meaning you can finally stop worrying about getting a free protein boost while you dream!
