Why do spiders keep descending from the ceiling and appear RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE?

So, this has happened multiple times in two different locations and always when I'm using my computer. I have no idea why these spiders keep descending down from their silk-web-string-things and almost always appear right in front of my face (or they might land on top of my head ugh). It always freaks me out and I can't really figure out why this happens. Could it be that a bright desk light and the computer's light somehow attracts them? That doesn't really make sense to me since spiders seem to always like corners. Might it be because the desk is too dusty? My desk area really isn't that messy but there is quite a bit of dust in some places (but the spiders descend from the ceiling so maybe the ceiling is dusty?). It's usually those tiny baby spiders that appear but I've also had daddy long-legs appear.

So, any ideas?

At least your answer was funny and cute unlike the rest of you jerks'. I don't have some weird obscure disease either. Can't move the compie though since the dorm room is too small to move anything. Oh well.
I'm not sure if you can stop it from happening. But when you see one, you can just grab a kleenex and get rid of it:) if they scare you - dont worry they scare a lot of ppl.:)

Do you have like any fruit scented like shampoo? because spiders might be attracted to that like bees are to flowers. And if u think its the comp light, then get a blanky and pull it over your head and comp so that its like a fortres and so that it can stop lite from escaping n also so no spiderhead
