Does Human Height increase during their sleep?

First of all, your height isn't necessarily INCREASED during sleep and it's not sleep directly that causes it.\n\nWhen you are lying down sleeping at night, the pressure of gravity and your weight on your spine and bones is dramatically reduced. This causes the bones in your spinal column to move back into where there should be and it releases the pressure on them. During the day as you walk around, move, and are on the go, the effects of gravity and your weight compress the bones in the spinal column making you appear shorter. When you are sleeping you are taller because there isn't pressure on you pushing down on you that what make you appear shorter.\n\nEDIT:\ni FINALLY found a link. It was so hard to find something, but they aren't that good but good enough. Look below.

Our height evolved as a balance of survivability. On one hand, we were better off becoming as large as possible, since being larger meant that fewer predators would be able to hunt us. But, the larger a person becomes the more energy is required to fuel the body. So our height became a balance of survival from being eaten and survival from not starving.\nNow that food has become so plentiful in the developed world, I think we'll see that people will slowly become taller.

You grow most when you are sleeping.  Kids stop growing typically between 17-19.  You are more than likely done with the growing years.  Average sleep is 8 hours.  If you still feel sleepy, you can sleep more, but your body also has the ability to adjust without negative side effects.

milk will make your bones stronger and sleep will keep you healthy which both can affect your height....genes play a great role in it also but listen to your mom she knows what shes talking about :)

No, yoga doesn't make you grow...when you hit around 18 or so you've done about all the growing (vertically) that you are going to do...\n\nYoga does stretch you out though, so after enough of it you may notice a slight height increase because your spine and muscles are lengthened (pilates can do that too) but it won't be an extreme change...\n\nYou cannot grow taller...when you hit your max height that's it...as you age, you will typically get shorter actually...

Height has no bearing on the blood pressure. Its a measure of the pressure with which the heart pumps the blood in our arteries. Your logic is right i.e in tall people the arteries are longer and hence may need a higher pressure to move the blood but its like pump which is continuously working so it doesn't make much difference with an increased height

I don't know about boob size or height but sleeping on your left side increases circulation in your body while you sleep.  Who knows what better circulation can help!!

Registered Nurse here; Yes dear you will still grow taller.  It is true that males reach there growth rate later than females, also true that by the time you start your menstrual cycle you have grown in height, more than you well ever grow again.  But at the tender age of 13 you have at least two more inches left, possibly more.  Much depends on genetics, such as your parents height.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for the opportunity to address your question. :))

You could ask your doctor, but I think it all depends on heredity (your genes).  \n\nA simple trick to appearing taller:  stand and sit up straight.  If you slouch, you will look shorter.

Depends on if the height is partially due to compressed discs in the spine. If so, you can restore them with proper diet or medications and technically that would give you more height....although we are talking maybe an inch. I believe I've read an article where it states that you are even an inch taller when you wake up than when yo go to bed due to the compression of your spine from gravity, so theoretically if you were to move onto a space station you would get "taller" (although "tall" no longer have meaning without gravity so I guess you'd be longer).\n\nBarring all that, there are African tribes that use metallic spacers around the neck to stretch the neck out and that can gain around 3 inches or more.....if you want to look like a freak with a giraffe neck. ;)

Definitely yes… our height keeps increasing until 25 years... I think... if I am right... may be a couple of years more but not less...

No, it only strengthens your bones and helps to prevent bone breakage. If Calcium made bones grow bigger in size then most likely we all would be over seven feet tall. Hope this has helped.

The main variation comes from the gel discs that are lodged between your vertebrae. When you are lying down, they expand more. So for a short period of time in the morning you are taller than when you went to bed. It is usually a very small amount though.

No, you cannot increase your height. You are basically done growing. And 3" more is not that noticeable. So accept your height and be happy
