Best Answer

Diurnal height variation is the variation in height over the course of a day. People are at their maximum height when they wake up. As they go through the day, their own weight causes the spine to compress so that by the end of the day they are shorter. Then, when they sleep the spine recovers its normal length. This is clearly important when monitoring growth rates of children.
