No, this is one of the reasons you are taller in the morning than you are in the evening. When you walk around during the day, gravity pulls and compresses your spine, causing you to shrink. But when you are lying down in bed, gravity isn't compressing your spine because the gravitational pull is perpendicular to the angle of your spine, allowing it to recover.

What is the effect of centre of gravity on stability of the body?
Gravity pulls things down, right? So, gravity must keep you on the ground, but it does not mean thatit can stop any nasty accidents.
Why does a force of gravity has no effect on horizontal component of velocity?
The force of gravity points towards the center of the earth ... the direction we call "down". The force has no horizontal component, so it can't have any effect on horizontal speed.
How does gravity help water wheel turn?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the water down to Earth, and the water in turn turns the wheel. So in effect gravity is doing all the work.
What is the acceleration due to gravity if an object falls down from a height of 25 m?
The acceleration due to gravity remains constant throughout the fall i.e. 9.8m/s2 ( taken as 10 for calculations).
How is speed affected by gravity?
Gravity acts as a barrier and slows it down. However, if you say, jump of a building. When you fall gravity will speed you up and you'll be dead fast. When you fall your speed is about 78mph. But that depends on the height of the building and wind direction.
How does gravity effect a kite?
gravity of a kite is something that pulls the kite down
How does not lying down after eating help prevent heartburn?
Not laying down after eating helps to prevent heartburn as it uses gravity to keep acid down. When laying down, it is much easier for acid to escape the stomach and flow out.

Why does a cold get bad at night?

How much work is done by gravity as the riders are lifted to a height of 60 meters?
Gravity does not lift. The force is doing the work by lifting the riders. When the riders come down from the 60 meter height, then gravity will be at work.
Is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?
Your weight, caused by the effect of gravity.
Is there any effect if you drink water while sleeping or laying down?
Other than drowning, no.
When an object falls freely from a height?
it will go straight down because of gravity
Is a person laying down the same height when standing up.?
Depends because sometimes a person may mostly bend their knees. But my opinion is that it is the same height.
Why do stem go upwards?
Plant stems usually grow up while their roots grow down. This is due to gravity and solar energy. Plant cells respond to the pull of gravity growing roots down while growing up to maximize sun exposure.
How do you no when your uterus is dropping?
You feel like you don't want to be standing up anymore. Laying down gives relief from the pull of gravity.
