Myth: Do You Eat Spiders in Your Sleep?
Updated May 9, 2023
Jay SummerStaff WriterUp-to-Date
The idea that people eat spiders while sleeping is a myth that has been spread far and wide, thanks in part to the internet. Although there is no evidence that spiders crawl into people’s mouths at night, widespread fear of spiders may help to perpetuate this urban legend.
For anyone concerned about swallowing spiders in their sleep, it may help to know why this is unlikely to happen and how little danger most spiders pose to humans.
Do Spiders Crawl Into Your Mouth When You Sleep?
There is no proof that spiders crawl into people’s mouths while they are sleeping. Moreover, scientists point to many reasons why this is not likely to happen.
- Humans are bigger: Spiders probably see a sleeping human as a predator that should be avoided. Because they can sense vibrations, spiders are also likely to be scared off by the movements and noises people make while sleeping.
- Spiders are not hostile: Spiders are typically not out to attack people, and they rarely bite humans. When they encounter a human, spiders are more likely to run away. Most spiders will only bite in self-defense Trusted SourceCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats.View Source , such as when someone rolls over on them or they are otherwise trapped.
- Spiders want to stay away: Not many spiders live in people’s houses to begin with, as they tend to make their homes in their natural outdoor habitat. When they do live inside, they prefer quiet, dark, secluded spots where they will not be disturbed.
- It is hard to swallow a spider: It is not likely that a spider could get into someone’s mouth, much less be swallowed when a person is asleep. While humans do swallow sporadically while they sleep, there are long periods of time when no swallowing takes place.
- People typically sleep with their mouths closed: It is usually easier to breathe through the nose during sleep, so sleepers tend to sleep with their mouths closed. This would make it hard for a spider to crawl inside.
