A member asked:
Can we grow taller although we did not get enough sleep for a long time?i have heard that body releases growth hormone when we get enough sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much taller you can grow depends on having open growth centers. These can be analyzed on a simple x-ray of your wrist/hand. If you have open growth centers, you can grow taller, if not, you are done. Most males grow until 17-18 and reach the average of both parents height plus 2.5 inches.
