Well, I was taking my height measurements each month since i felt i was in the growth spert. I was growing 1 inch per month. But this month, i shortened 1/2 inch. :( :( :(. the thing is, i was growing 1 in. per month during summer (which i sleep until i wake up), but i lost 1/2 in. during school (wehre I sleep 12+ and wake up around 7).

What nonsense....one inch a month? What are you, an adolesent male giraffe? Lack of sleep does not cause one to shrink. It will depend on when you measure your height. You will always be slightly taller in the morning, straight after waking, and slightly shorter in the evening (all to do with vertebrate compression).

I suspect your height guage is faulty
