Why Do I Shrink During The Day?
I'm a seventeen year old male and during the morning I'm 5'6 1/2 and then in the evening I'm 5'5 1/2 to 3/4. Why does this happen and what is my real height then?
PS: I hope I haven't stopped growing >.<

I once read that you're taller in the morning when you first wake up because while you were lying down sleeping during the night, your vertebrae spread out slightly. But over the course of the day while you're standing upright, gravity acts on your spine, compresses your vertebrae/the discs between them, and makes you slightly shorter. In your case, maybe about an inch shorter :)
Hope this helps!

Too much **** weighing ya down. The MO: Sleep on it, wake up at your peak, then life shrinks you.
Get rid of all the crap and you'll see that you are just beginning to grow.. Won't be able to stop it. You're gonna be a giant.
