Im 14 and about 5''3 or 5''4 but for two days straight i have been waking up before 7 and its pissing me off. I went to bed around 10:30 0r 10:40. If it sleeping does affect my height could that explain why I am so short. But I did not really excercise yesterday.OR is height all genetics.
 
Sleep during critical periods in your life like the teen years definitely does affect your height. Your body grows the most while you're asleep and if you don't get enough sleep your body will not reach its full potential. Did you know that some experts argue that your height depends less on your genes than your weight does? If you miss many hours of sleep throughout your teens then you may not reach your full height potential. That being said you can't make yourself taller than your genes designate. But do all you can to reach your designated height. Don't forget that this doesn't only mean sleep but also that you are getting enough nutrients like calcium.
