I'm 19, my height is about 1.69 m. what can i possibly do to grow just a few more cm? life habits that prohibit height growth? like sleeping too late?

No change: At your age you have stopped growing . Life habits change your weight and health but not your height at this point.

No growth last year?: If no growth in the last year, then growth has finished. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height.
