How many hours of sleep allows your body to release the most growth hormone for teenagers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most teenagers do fine with 7 to8 hours of sleep per night. Extra sleep will not cause any extra growth hormone to be produced, and this will not change your overall height. For the most part, your height is genetically predetermined. Eat well and take good care of your body. Good luck.
