    Does the height of human body change while sleeping?

    Question #16737. Asked by Suju. (Feb 20 02 7:50 AM)

    		Yes. Standing up all day causes your spine to compress, so that you get smaller as the day goes on. While you are sleeping, your spine expands slightly, restoring you to your normal morning height.

    		The weight would change also, and the body would get lighter. As skin is shed, water is exhaled and sweat perspired. Charming subject!
