Yes and No.
When you stretch your spine out from standing which compresses it you will lengthen in height slightly. When you stand and walk around again your spine compresses and your short again. The trick is to stretch your spine out and only walk around for a couple hours then go stretch again so everyone will always know you as being that 1/2" taller :)

No. Listen to Judith R as far as health risks, and keep in mind the body is working while you sleep on things such as your height. It is a slow process. Also, keep in mind that boys will go through pubert at an older age then girls.
Just be patient :)

Any position that takes the compression off your spine allows you to lengthen - no need for the head rush.
