Why isn't my height growing with 5-6 hours sleep?
Patient's Query
My height is not growing and i sleep almost 5,6 hours why is this not growing
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Height is mainly determined by your genetics, so it may just be your body's natural way. However, inadequate sleep can interfere with growth hormone production, affecting your height potential. To support healthy growth, aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep each night, along with a balanced diet rich in nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamins. If you're still worried, it might be a good idea to chat with a endocrinologist for a more personalized assessment.

Height increasing after 20 years of age
Male | 20
It is quite normal to stop growing in height after your teenage years. Most people have usually reached full growth by the time they are twenty years old. Some rare cases may continue to produce growth hormones and grow taller even as adults. Still, this happens very infrequently. If you are worried about being too short, talk to a doctor who can help you understand better what is going on.

I'm 18 yr old, I'm 5"7 but I'm so skinny and thin, weighing around 40kg as a male. Can you please help me regarding that situation
Male | 18
Sometimes being underweight is a result of a rapid metabolism, not taking enough calories, or the gravity of health issues. In adolescence with the growth processes such as puberty, it is normal for some young adults to face the situation of this. On the other hand, You can achieve this healthy goal by eating more density-improved foods like nuts, avocados, whole grains, and lean meat. Try the strength exercises that will foster muscle growth. You can also consult a dietician for more advice.

Male | 21
By the age of 21, your bones have mostly finished developing, and your height is largely determined by genetics. At this point, increasing your height further is unlikely. However, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep can help you reach your maximum potential height.

Male | 18
At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

Male | 18
At your age, a good and regular diet mechanism is the most important in formulation and weight enhancement. Concentrate on eating foods that are good for you. This is a process that involves more than one part. Try eggs and lean meats apart from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Besides, working through the strength training process is crucial too. First, make sure you consume enough energy to carry out the activities. Bear in mind that the kind of bones you get also largely depends on the genes that you inherit from your parents, and it’s these healthy habits that will take you to your highest divide.

I am a 14 year old male and i am confused am i going through puberty or ended it because they say that when height is stopped growing ouberty ends and i am already 3 inches taller than my father at this age and when i started puberty around 12 my height was almost same as my father so how when is it going ti end? I have noticed little bit height growth in the past few months possibly 1 cm
Male | 14
Hello! It seems you’re worried about how tall you will get and when puberty will end. It’s natural to feel insecure. Puberty normally stops around 18 for boys when they’ve had all the major growth spurts that can make them taller than ever before. If you’ve only started noticing yourself growing in height lately then this might mean your body is still changing because of puberty. Keep eating well, sleeping enough and exercising so your growth can be supported!

Short height as an adult how to deal with it
Male | 25
Sometimes genetics play a big role in determining our adult height. If your parents are on the shorter side, you may end up being shorter too. Other factors like nutrition, overall health, and any underlying medical conditions can also affect your height. There are ways to address this. I recommend consulting with a endocrinologist to rule out any underlying issues and discuss possible options. They may suggest certain lifestyle changes, exercises, or even hormone therapy if needed.

Female | 16
It's important to understand that growth patterns vary greatly among individuals. Factors like genetics, nutrition, and hormonal changes play significant roles in height development. If you've not seen any increase in stature after puberty, it may indicate that your growth plates have closed, which is a normal part of development. Ensuring a balanced diet rich in nutrients and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support overall well-being. However, I recommend consulting a pediatrician who can assess your situation thoroughly and determine if there are any underlying issues that need to be addressed. ]

Male | 14
Genetics play a big role in how tall we get. At 14 years old, you're actually right in the middle of your growth spurt, so there's still a good chance you'll grow more. On average, girls keep growing until around 16 years old, and boys until around 18. While there's no magic medicine to make you taller, eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and staying active can help you reach your full height potential.

Hello ma'am I am 20 but I want to increase my height is it possible
Female | 20
Our height is largely determined by genetics. At 20, most people have reached their full height potential as their growth plates have fused. However, there are some rare cases where factors like nutrition, exercise, and sleep can play a small role. To support your overall health and potentially optimize your height, focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular exercise including stretching and strength training, and ensuring you get plenty of rest. While height increase may be limited at your age, these habits can still benefit your overall well-being. If you have any concerns or want personalized advice, don't hesitate to reach out to a endocrinologist for guidance.

Male | 25
Yes, of course, losing the weight you want is possible but the method that you are going to use is not the best idea. Underweight can be attributed to various factors such as high metabolism, an imbalanced diet, and certain diseases. For instead, replace your present food habits with the food items such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains. Also, don't forget about physical activity: it is also a good way to put on muscles. If any ambiguities arise do not hesitate to consult the dietitian to receive the exclusive instructions for your case.

Being extremely thin at 29 years old might worry you. Your fast metabolism could burn calories quickly. Or, you may not consume enough food. Health problems can also affect weight. To gain pounds, eat calorie-rich foods like nuts, avocados, nut butter. Work with a nutritionist. They'll make a meal plan just for gaining weight. Weight gain needs to happen slowly and healthily.
