Could this have any affect on my growth? I always sleep around 8-10 hours a night. I think I am around the average height (5"4) for my age (14) all though I don't know exactly. I'm fifteen in May. I do quite a lot of exercise each day, walking mainly for a couple of hours each day, and I do stretching before I go to bed too. I'm already taller than my mother! But want to be at least 5"7. I eat a very good balanced diet as well. But I'm really, really, really worried that this going to bed plate could have squandered my chance to grow even though I do sleep 8-10 hours a night! I am adamant that I am going to go to bed much earlier from now on, but have these late nights ruined my growth completely?? Please only reply if you Know, and thanks for any replies that I do get!

height growth is predertermined by your genes - the cells that decide what you look like
when you get older, like 3 times older than you are now, sleep deprivation may help weaken your bones, and have you lean over and not appear tall
no amount of excercises will make you any taller
many people go through life never getting taller than 5"4"
look at your parents, their heights are their dominant genes, and there's a 50% chance you'll be around the same height as ONE of them

No son, i'm 6'2 and that i have been going to mattress late for 12 months, as long as you get the necessary sleep time of 8-9 hrs an afternoon. you'd be ok, so long because it isn't compelled on with information from medicine. to be able on your answer, no it hasn't ruined your strengthen.
