  • There are many misconceptions about physical stature, but it's a fact that we wake up taller than we were overnight. That is to say our morning height is greater than what it was the night before. To be precise,

The article from MSN discusses the phenomenon of why people often find themselves slightly taller in the morning than at night. This daily height fluctuation is primarily due to the intervertebral discs in the spine. Throughout the day, these discs compress under the weight of the body and activities, causing a slight decrease in height. When we sleep, the spine decompresses, allowing the discs to rehydrate and expand, which results in a small increase in height by morning. This natural process can account for a height difference of up to 16 millimeters. The article also touches on how factors like exercise, posture, and even the type of mattress one uses can influence this daily height variation. However, it emphasizes that this change is temporary and part of the body's normal functioning.
