Does sleep increase height

Answer 1

Adults who have reached their full height may gain an inch or so in height as they sleep. During the day, our weight combined with standing/sitting upright compresses the spongy discs between our vertebrae in the spine. At night, the discs decompress, making us just a little taller. You can measure yourself immediately in the morning and then just before bed to see if there is any noticeable difference.

For children still growing, getting the proper amount of sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle. During sleep, the body is actively engaged in self-repair and growth at a higher rate than during the day when other demands are placed on bodily resources. Not getting the proper sleep required as a child may have negative physical effects over a prolonged period of time.
