[laris]

[NoBreak92]

[kinein]

for someone from my birth state you really like ignoring the advice given in the fitness thread haha ~ sleeps essential - besides suffering from short term memory problems the more you practice minimum sleeping habits at such a young age yes you have stunted your growth.

Sleep is the only time your body and mind can actually repair and rebuild and utilize the resources you have gathered ( what you have eaten ).


Google : Long term effects of sleep deprivation, lack of sleep + effects

Here is a random link ~ http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/...91025075844.htm

Search term : lack of sleep, long term effects

But yes go read up on research studies from the last 5-10 years should be enough information for you to learn about it.

so if you lose sleep, say for a week,
you can't go and try to fix your method
and continue growing the right way?

dang -.- aww im going to be 5'3 forever D:

[papasmurf]

u serious??? -.-

it's true, LOOK AT BOA...she debuted when she was 13 and because of her busy schedule, SHE'S SHORT AS HELL from lack of sleep/rest.

[Mirae-chan]

seriously!? no wonder I haven't grown in a while.. am 16 and still 5'2" since like Grade 8 or 9.. but it takes me forever to go to sleep, seriously @__@

[pocketsoul]

Are you male or female? If you're female, you've probably finished growing whether or not you change your sleeping habits now . I think sleep deprivation mostly has an effect when you're young enough to still have growth spurts.

[ChromeHearts]

hell yeah
it's the thyroid that secretes your growth hormones
it only happens after your first 1-2 hours of sleep or when you start to REM
irregular sleeping patterns definitely screw it up as well

I'm only 5'5 and 18yearsold

[Nator]

wtf i sleep soo much 10pm - 7~8am everyday since was born.. well since forever I M STILL short T.T I am only 5'5/6

[Honey.bee]

I guess it is true. Sleeping does a good role on your daily life, your body needs atleast 8 hours of sleep. I've been lacking sleep these days due to hot weather + mosquitos. Makes me uber tired.

[chibichi07]

*sigh* Guess I'll never be the 5'7" I wish to be...I sleep at midnight every single night (except for maybe during school, in which case I sleep at 10)

[oyay]

I have a question...is it just LACK of sleep or WHEN you sleep?
Becuase I sleep really late..like 2-3am nowadays since it's summer, but I get around 8-10 hours of sleep everyday.

Does that mean I've stopped growing? I'm hella short..like 5'1 lol:(

[LindsayC]

I really don't think you'll be growing anymore . . . but I think a constant lack of sleep can stunt childhood growth. Not that it's something you have to really worry about now!

[blitzk]

woot lucky i slept early like a good child back then

now im 6'1 18 years old

(dude)

[TapiOcaxP]

LOL. I admit that I usually don't get enough sleep and I have extremely irregular sleeping patterns. But sleeping at least 8 hrs/day probably wouldn't have changed much for me. I'm 4'10"~4'11" and 17 years old. I blame most of it on genes and being born 1 month premature. I consider myself luckier than my older sister who's ~1 inch shorter than me. I'm also taller than my mom by a bit. ^^
But dang, if only. I mgith've been able to grow that extra 1~2 inches to get to 5' xD

exercise regularly and push yourself hard so that when you go to bed it feels like your sinking into a cloud!

[Hakuna]

As long as you get at least 8 hours of sleep, its okay right? Like, it doesn't matter WHEN you go to sleep, as long as you get it?
