does sleeping...?

Question

does sleeping have anything to do with you height? idk becuase i have heard people say something like that..hm..

Answer 1

when you first wake up, you are a little taller. Only before you get out of bed. When you sleep, your muscles relax. Even the muscles between your vertebraes. Increasing your height a little bit.

Answer 2

You grow when you sleep. That's why in our pre-teens/teens we often get 'growing pains' in the night.
Now, that doesn't mean if you lie in bed for 16 hours a day, you'll grow taller.
For an adolescent (defined as 12-22 years old), you should get about 9 hours of sleep per night. If you eat well, and sleep enough, you will grow as tall as your genes are programmed for. You can do anything to grow taller, and unless you are severely malnourished, you can stop growing, either.

Answer 3

Height is determined by genetics and nutrition. I've never heard of sleep haveing anything to do with it.

Answer 4

you'll stretch out and your muscles will relax when you sleep, so you may appear taller by maybe 1/2 inch when you wake.
After some time on your feet, your disks will compress somewhat and you'll go back to your noraml stature.

Only genetics determines your height.

Answer 5

If you are getting a proper night's sleep (8 to 9 hours), it can help you maintain your weight healthfully. People who don't get enough sleep often have weight problems and are overweight.

Don't worry about it, just get some rest, hun.
