Time of Sleep and Height?!


Question:

Time of Sleep and Height?

Does the time at which one sleeps negatively affect growth? I'm 15 and on some weekends or some nights over the summer I will sleep as late as 4 or 5 and wake up around 11 to even as late as 2. Is this going to significantly reduce how much I grow? Basically, is sleeping 8 hours from 12-8 any different from sleeping 8 hours from 4-12?

Also, if I am about 5'9, my dad 5'9, and my mom 5'3, how tall should I expect to be? I have grown quite a bit in the past year or so, but in the last 3 months I haven't grown at all. Should I worry that my growth spurt is over?

Thanks!

Answers:

It doesn't matter "when" you get your sleep as long as your are getting sleep.

You didn't list your age in the question so I would have to say that you will most resemble in height what your Grandparents were...if they are the same height as your parents are...then you may be done. If you are not yet 22...then you may still grow some...I'm 6'1", My son is 14 and he is 6'2 and still growing...my father was 5'10" and his father was 5'11...

It all depends on where you are right now in your development, but I would worry about it...it will be what it will be...you cannot change it, so just eat right and get your rest...
