When you wake up, studies from McGill University have shown that people who wake up after sleeping on mattresses and pillows are, on average, 1 to 2 inches taller during the first 30 minutes. Those same people who sleep only on a mattress and without a pillow add up to half an inch more than the previous method. Sleeping on a hard floor with a pillow will add between a half inch and an inch and a half. Removing the pillow and mattress will help you gain up to 4.4 inches in total height. By sleeping properly, you can gain an additional non-permanent 4.4 inches of height during the first 30 minutes from the time you wake up from a long night’s sleep. These studies were based on a 30-day treatment. After just thirty days, you can gain up to 6 inches or more in height by sleeping alone. To maintain the height gained with proper sleep, you need to exercise and eat properly.
