Usually when we see somebody sleeping infront of us we keep starring and wondering why he/she looks taller; especially when looking at a child.
But what is the secret behind that?Why do we look taller while sleeping?
This is related to two things. The first is that during the day and because of the activities we make, the cartilage in our knees, connective tissues and other areas slowly compress. But while sleeping this cartilage goes back to its normal structure.
The second reason is that the discs of the spinal cord reabsorb their synovial fluid while sleeping, after it was released as a result of gravity during the day. This in turn compresses the spine and the person looks shorter.
On average we are about 1 cm taller while we are sleeping!
So simply now sleeping will help us,especially short people like me, get taller for free ;)
