i read that your growth hormones come out at about 10 pm so experts say to sleep at 10 or earlier
not to be racist
but is that why asians are so small, since they always studying for school until 12 pm
and that non-asians are so tall and have more build because they sleep earlier (well at least in our school)

Lol after your first sentence was hilarious. Maybe not racist, but definitely stereotypical.

asians are shorter, but live longer because of their diet.
there's a recent surge of really tall asians though, talk about having no middle-class in terms of height. Theyre either really short or really tall.
and yes its while you sleep you grow

actually you get taller because the gravity isnt exerting a downward pull on your vertical position, dont belive me measure yourself

then guys would find a way so that they face down parallel to the ground in order for their nether regions to get longer.

You'd be surprised.
Wong's sorta right. When you sleep your back muscles and spine relax and stretch out slightly making it seem like you've gotten a bit taller. But measure yourself again by the end of the day and you'll be back to normal.

Yeah moi aussi, when I watched some program about them measuring the new tallest guy in the world. To get an official reading, they take a reading after he wakes up, and one before he goes to sleep, then take the value in between the two.

Yup, GH gets secreted more when you sleep (deep sleep).
I'm an insomniac, so I'm pretty petite <.<
When you sleep horizontally, fluid gets replenished in your spinal disc, so you gain a few cms in the morning you wake up.

GH isnt the only thing that determines height. Your genes, your environment etc theres so many other factors that interplay into shaping us.
