No, I like to take naps and I'm only 5'4" so it's not true.

Try taking a nap while hanging from a tree branch upside down. Well, it may not make you taller. But maybe you'll grow bat wings and forget about being short.

no, the length of a nap is not a long enough time to undo the effects of gravity on your spine. unless you are talking about an amount so small as to be almost undetectable.

yes, well maybe not a nap, but measure yourself when you wake up and when you go to bed and you will see a difference.
it is because when you are awake you tend to be standing/sitting and doing stuff that required you to be vertical.
gravity pulls you down making you shorter. when you sleep you are horizontal, allowing the body to expand

They say if you are picked up a lot when you are a child it makes you grow taller i.e lots of love and attention.

eh well u should strech before and after sleeping. staying awake for days at a time will mess your back up if standing the whole time.
