Can biphasic sleep effect growth? i am a 17 years old boy and i want to sleep at about 10pm to 2 am then 4 am to 7am. would that stunt my growth?

Sleep is important: I've never heard about biphasic sleep affecting growth. However, if this is not your natural, no alarm clock pattern, then this could certainly interfere with your sense of wakefulness and how alert you feel later in the day. The body has natural cycles of hormones related to day or night, and it's best to let the body follow what's natural. Chronic sleep deprivation is not good for us.

Possibly: There are several phases of sleep and one of the most important levels for maximum rest and renovation is delta phase. This is the deepest level of sleep in which hgh (human growth hormone) is released and in adults provides one of the most potented hormones that naturally helps prevent tissue and organ breakdown. In growing individuals, adequate hgh levels will insure proper growth.
