Why Are You Taller When You Wake Up? 😳 | Your Spine Changes Overnight
Did you know you're usually a little taller when you wake up? 😳🧬
It sounds impossible—but your height actually changes throughout the day.
While you're sleeping horizontally, the intervertebral discs in your spine experience much less loading. Fluid moves back into the discs, allowing them to regain some of the height they lose during the day.
Once you stand up and begin moving, gravity and body loading gradually compress the discs again.
In this Body Spectra 3D medical animation, we go inside the spine to visualize exactly why your height changes between morning and evening.
Discover fascinating anatomy, physiology, biology, neuroscience, and hidden human-body mechanisms through cinematic 3D scientific visualization.
