Does Lack Of Sleep Affect Growth?
Hi, I m 13 and 5 4. Lately, I haven t been getting much sleep at all. It s been two weeks, and I ve slept about four of those nights. I have slept during the day, all day, for most of those. Anyway, after all those all nighters, would that have an effect on my growth? I want to be tall, so I m worried. After how long does lack of sleep start to affect growth? I have slept quite a bit during the day, and yesterday I slept 20 hours straight. Has my growth already been stunted?

Growth is natural process which is depend upon several factors.
so for growth start taking heavy and healthy food.
regular exercise.
proper diet and proteins.
Try to sleep at night only.
Day time sleep can interfere in daily activities.
