How can I grow taller!?!


Question: How can I grow taller!?
Okay, so when I was younger, I used to be one of the tallest kids in my class. Now, it seems as if everyone grew with em and a lot of people are taller than me.
I'm not tall at all now; I'm about 5'4 and at most 5'5 and a couple months over 14 years, which is surprising in comparison to how tall I used to be.

I think I can name a few things that may have stunted my growth- I never drank a ton of milk, as I got older and started going to this new "gifted" school, my hours have shifted dramatically.
First off, I've always had sleeping problems. At times they're very bad. It's in my genes, too. Second, since I've been going to this new school and especially this year been studying SO much for high school exams (and by a lot I mean more work that this school gives me), my hours are pretty low. Last year, they were not very high, either. I get about 6 hours maybe on average every school day- on average. I get sick easier, too, now, because of lack of sleep.

Do you know how I can improve, realistically, with sleep and anything else to help me grow taller?

Also, do you know what the average height is for a 14 year old?

You will probably gain another height inch in the next year or so.

To reach your potential height you need a normal healthy diet, adequate sleep and adequate calories.
