CLOSED: PLEASE HELP!

Someone please tell me what these are! I see them all the time running on my bed when I'm trying to sleep and I just saw another one dash under my desk out of the corner of my eye. I am deathly afraid of spiders and when this thing crawls across me or near me I freak out and now I can't sleep sitting here waiting. Can't seem to ever pin it down online and I swear it looks like a recluse but I'm in Nor Cal and that doesn't seem right. I think it's a "common house spider", male, but try googling that and you keep getting hobos and recluses and widely different looking ones than the ones i keep seeing every like half hour.

took this with my droid, got pretty close and Ive been looking for another one to take a pic of but they match my carpet color

have to bunch up under covers and lock all entrances to myself in sheets while it's like 80 degrees in my room...these things are destroying my sleep schedule and pysche.

Saw this one on the ground, super fast. I think it's a young one...also it is all black instead of the usual brown/tan that I see. That is a quarter in the background. The normal ones, like in the first pic are at least 1 quarter to a half dollar size. maybe a little smaller than that.

It's a little wolf spider of some type.
If you've got them so badly in your house, you may want to consider setting off a "bomb" of some type.
For example:

The lighter colored spider in the top photo looks more like a Miturgid (Miturgidae-prowling spiders) than a wolf spider. There are multiple genera that include Cheiracanthimum (longlegged sac spiders). These are commonly found in houses. With the pictures provided, it will be nearly impossible to determine the species.

It is not a Brown Recluse, so no need to worry about that. Also, I recommend against setting off "bombs" to disperse poison in your house.

That is totally the sac spider
