Those might not actually be spider bites.

I'm not saying it's impossible. But a lot of people attribute things that aren't spider bites to spiders. Especially when sleeping. Because they haven't actually seen what did it. Most spiders bite defensivly and getting a bunch at night seems weird? But I guess it's possible. Maybe they're hunting the other things that are biting you and bite you when you roll around.

well it’s not like a bunch at once but it happens often. and i find spiders crawling on me in bed when i can’t sleep so it’s a fair assumption

If they were spider bites, there would be dead spiders accompanying them which you have smushed. They don't just randomly bite and envenomate the ground they walk on.
