You are indeed about 1 cm taller in the morning than you are at night.
Why It Happens
▫️Gravity and the Spine: Gravity presses down on your body all day when you stand, sit, and walk.
▫️Spinal Discs: Soft, gel-like cushions sit between the bones of your spine.
▫️Fluid Squeezing: This daily pressure squeezes fluid out of those spinal discs, making them a little flatter by evening.
▫️Rehydration at Night: When you lie down to sleep, your spine is free from gravity's weight.
▫️Expansion: The discs soak up fluid overnight and plump back up, which adds about 1 cm to your height by morning.
