Answer 3

I have never seen a sleeping spider.(let alone ate one)

Answer 4

I have read that too, I always get rid of any cobwebs in the bedroom as soon as they appear just in case it harbours a monster spider

Answer 5

no i dont really think so  

Answer 6

I always get the midnight munchies.

Answer 7

Yes,it's absolutely true.Yet,disgusting.

But we do.We eat approximately 7-8 spiders a year.

Answer 8

I was told the average is 7 in a lifetime. Although I have no idea how they figured this out.

Answer 9

Yes...apparantely we eat 4 every few months...

Dont know if I believe it though lol...

I guess it depends on how tidy your house is etc!

Answer 10

I heard that you do, something like 7 a year but the fact varies a lot, i've even heard that it's 4 a month once.  

I don't know how anyone would have worked out this statistic as no one would know if they ate a spider in their sleep anyway.

Either way if it is true it's disgusting!! lol    =]

Answer 11

I munch at in my sleep alright. Only it aint no spider, or is that what they are calling it these days. Eight legged freaks are hawt.

Answer 12

Apparently on average 3 crawl in your mouth a year.

Answer 13

In our lifetime insects have gone down our mouth when asleep we dont eat but they end up growing down or throats when we breath its nothing just dont think about it otherwise you wont wanna sleep again init

Answer 14

I think so, yes.

Answer 15

lol I think so

Answer 16

omfg........ i would hate to think that we do! that is so gross, having a creature with eight legs all up in ur mouth........ewww!

Answer 17

Yes.  On dry land indoors or out you are always within 6 feet of a spider.

Answer 18

yea according to the researchers but thats weird

Answer 19

No not we don't eat them, they just crawl in and out of your mouth!

If that makes you feel any better ;)

Answer 20

That must be why I'm always full in the mornings...

Answer 21

I read in the paper ages ago that it was just an urban myth but i really don't know! I hope not = /

Answer 22

Yeah, apparently its up to ten a year.  

Answer 23

no, its another one of those urban myths.

Answer 24

Yes.  

Answer 25

no .. i dont think so anyway .. im pretty sure it was just an urban legend that someone made up to see how far it could go  

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

Indeed, in fact we need the spiders in our sleep or we could die...  

Answer 28

Yes its true I think about 8 a year

Answer 29

lol - no.

It is abolutely 100% IMPOSSIBLE for them to make that kind of statement and for it to be anywhere near accurate.

They would have made this info up based on what? Monitoring 10 people? 100 people? 1000 people?

There are about 8000 MILLION, thats 8 000 000 000 000 people in the world.

There aren't even any spiders in my house...

Answer 30

no wonder im never hungry in  the morning

Answer 31

Nope - its a myth.
