Does lack of sleep stunt growth?

I got an iPod touch about 6 months ago and I've been staying up late watching movies til about 11:30pm - 1am, and waking up at around 7am to take the dog for a walk. I'm 16 and I've noticed I have stop growing, I measured my height about the time I got my ipod and I haven't grown a bit. So does lack of sleep stop growth spurts?

I'm 169cm in height at 16 years

Insufficient sleep can, to some extent, stunt your height growth.

Teenagers need from 8-10 hours of sleep per day.
