If your fourteen (nearly fifteen) - does it matter what time you go to bed if your trying to gain height?

Question

Does it make a difference whether you go to sleep at say 1 or 2 am, or 11:00pm? Does it make a difference when your trying to gain height?

Answer 1

.......not essentially, but the more rest you get, the better your body develops!!!!!
with that i bid you good night, my eye muscles need some serious rest or the bags underneath them will hit the floor in the morning!!!!!

Answer 2

Sleep and nutrition are very important to growth and body strength. The more sleep you can get the better. Whilst it is true that final 'maximum' height is genetic.

Achieving this maximum growth however, is dependent on your body resting and repairing whilst you sleep. Therefore, just like a plant that's given bad conditions it will grow to its best. But it won't achieve the strength or the size of the same seed in good conditions. Everybody needs different amounts of sleep and you know when your tired. Sleep when your tired. Not at the end of this level, or, when the programme or DVD ends.

BEWARE: Sleep patterns form before you know it and when the daily 9 to 5 starts you will find them harder than Cigarettes to give up! Mental agility suffers most from tiredness!

Answer 3

Im not certain but i would think that going to bed earlier ( or just getting more sleep ) would increase your chances of gaining height more quickly (although i dont think it will make much difference) this is because when you sleep your energy is not beig used for thing like moving about, talking and brain power. this gives it the chance to concentrate on growth and reparing cells.

don't change your life to try to gain height, if you are meant to be short you will never be tall and you have to accept yourself for who you are. however do try to get about 8 hours sleep a night regularly.

also its very likely that you havent grown to your full height yet anyway as you are 14/15.

hope ive helped a bit xx

Answer 4

Absolutly - it's critical - as is your diet. Genes deffinatly help but if your body is lacking in the raw materials (diet - vitamins, minerals proteins etc) and the environment -(your body goes into repair and growth mode when you are asleep) then you can't expect to get good progress.

It's been pretty conclusivly established that processed foods with enumbers and additives are a factor in hyperactive behavior and poor attention / disruptive behavior. Yeah it's fun to stay up till 2 or 3 am -but there has to be a trade off - and your body is the thing that suffers..........so sh*te in equals sh*te out - and proper sleep equals proper development.

hope that helps

Answer 5

for anything to happen in life there needs to be energy which you will lack if you don't go to sleep however don't expect drastic results becuase you cannot do both to compare the effects, look at it this way there will be no negatives for going to sleep at 11 but 1-2 might have a negative effect

Answer 6

im going by experience here my son is 14 and is 6ft 2ins he stays up very late and im always moaning for him to sleep!!! if you dont get enough sleep you will get cranky, have no energy and basically be in bad moods ( hormones dont help lol ) if you are meant to be tall you will be! but no young ladies want a moody boyfriend with big black rings round their eyes, more sleep more energy to put into finding a girl!!! and any way we dont like gettin a creeks in are necks trying to reach you !! good luck

Answer 7

The amount of sleep you get cannot remotely affect your height. This has already been genetically determined. Only poor nutrition or disease can lower it and only a hormone defect called gigantism of hyper-pituitary syndrome can raise it!

Answer 8

your height depends on your parents if they are tall chances are you will be 2. im afraid you dont really get a say in how tall you want to be no matter what time you go to sleep

Answer 9

Go to bed and stop wrecking your body clock. as your height is determined but the combination of your parents heights

Answer 10

Yes this is very important you must go to bed before midnight and elevate the top of your bed by 3 inches and sleep in lead weighted boots. Hope this helps.
