3. You are taller in the morning.

Assuming you sleep horizontally, at night, this is true.

Your backbones stretch out at night.

As you walk around or sit all day, good old gravity squishes them together.

Believe it or not, you are actually taller in the morning! The reason doesn't have so much to do with the fact that it is morning, but because you've been lying down in bed during the night, which gives the disks separating your vertebrae the opportunity to expand, which makes you just a bit taller. By the end of the day, the disks have compressed again, making you shorter than you were when you first got out of bed.
