Does sleep help you to grow taller?

Answer 1

It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and

consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a

decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.

During deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve "deep level" sleep on a daily basis in order to

coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.

Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.

Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.

Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.

Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.

Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.

Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.

Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.

Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.

Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.

If your bones are still open sleeping will help you grow taller, if the bones are fused, then alone sleeping will not help you grow taller, in this case it is recommended to use " super-growth height enhancer" natural product on alternate days and sleep at least 8 hrs at night.

Answer 2

No, however it is a fact that you are an inch or two taller when you sleep because your spine secretes some type of liquid that makes the disks expand making you taller. It subsides a few minutes after you wake up

Answer 3

yes because it takes 4 hours to get into REM sleep and after that you grow. so if you arent getting that much sleep then you cannot grow that much.

<-- That is NOT true.

The time it takes to get into REM sleep varies, depending on things like your sleep

habits. Hah I've never even heard of someone taking 4hrs to get in to REM, it's usually a 90 min cycle..

While I can't answer your question, I can denounce that lil "fact"
