...I thought I was gonna freaking die.

I had only been asleep for a few hours when I woke up, but i was practically still asleep. Eventually i noticed that my right ear had an odd buzzing that was starting and stopping and I didn't think anything of it. Then all of a sudden I realized what was actually happening and i jumped out of bed SCREAMING! I wasn't sure what it was but it felt like a BUG in my ear and it was traveling deaper into my ear and it felt like it was burrowing into my brain! And it was so loud because it wiggling and squirming in my ear canal and touching my ear drum! My dog who was asleep was now intrigued and he was watching me tug on my earlobe, and shake my head. Then in the rush, i guess I was over my bed at some point and the pain, and the wriggling, vibrating stopped, and I looked down. And I found...an earwig crawling across my bed. Like any sane person, the first thing I did was google "earwig in my ear" and I found a few blog posts that basically described my exact situation. They say it is just a myth that earwigs crawl into your ear and eat your brain, and even though I doubt the earwig was planning on eating my brain, it is no myth.

I now know where they get there name, and I don't think i'll ever be the same.

Moral of the story, sleep like a south African, and rest your neck on your propped up arm so nothing can crawl in your ear.

And here is that article.

I was also happily unaware that the average human swallows one to three spiders in their sleep a year.
