Yes, especially if they eat large quantities of food, or carry large quantities of coins in their pockets. All that extra weight causes them to "compress". At bedtime, they shed their clothes, use the toilet and gain back some of the height that they lost during the day.

Why do you shrink at night?

actually, you don't shrink at night, you shrink in the daytime due to the sponglike connectors in your spine. These shrink during the day from standing, so you get about 2 or so inches shorter. But when youre laying down and asleep the spongy stuff relaxes out, thus returning you to your highest. (Sleep also makes you grow)


Does grass grow at night?

Grass can continue to grow at night through a process called respiration, where it converts stored energy into growth. However, growth may be slower compared to during the day when photosynthesis occurs.


Do you grow in the day or night?

Plants typically grow during the day due to the presence of sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy to fuel growth. At night, plants focus on maintenance processes like respiration and nutrient uptake.


Does corn grow at night?

No, corn plants do not grow at night. Growth occurs during the day when they photosynthesize and convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. At night, corn plants mostly focus on maintaining and repairing themselves.


Is is true or false that while you're asleep you grow 8mm but shrink again in the morning?

False. During the day, the discs in your spine compress due to gravity, making you slightly shorter by a few millimeters. When you lie down at night, the discs in your spine have a chance to rehydrate and expand, returning you to your morning height. Growth in height during sleep is minimal.
