Does sleeping position effect height?

I have been hearing that if you sleep on yur back and stretch out yur legs (makes sure they aren’t curled) you can increase yur height.

So I’m just wondering if anyone is tall and sleeps on their back and stretches out their legs [ie. not tucking them in, curling them]?

Does anyone know if yur sleeping position effects yur height?

Well.. my mom told my siblings and I. My cousin sleeps in that postion. And my sister told me that for the last few weeks she’s been sleeping in that position and she feels taller. My mom said she grew too.

I have been trying.. but I mean yeh I grew like half an inch.. but I don’t know the reason for it. I mean, I don’t know if it’s the sleeping position thing. But thank you:)

Answer #2

no sorry that does not work. Growth rates are controlled by Human Growth Hormone or HGH. Every single person has specific amount which is secreted by a person who is going through puberty during the night which causes a persons bones to lengthen. HGH is determined by genetic( how tall your parents are) and things like getting enough sleep and eating properly. Sometimes people can experience growing pains which means there can be too much HGH circulating within their bodies at a certain period of time. But no sleeping in a certain position cannot help you increase your height

Answer #3

No it does not. Who told you that?
