Herniated Discs and Why We are Taller in the Morning?

Herniated and bulging discs are common spinal conditions that can cause pain and discomfort, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, many individuals can find relief and improve their quality of life. Additionally, understanding the natural processes of spinal decompression, such as those that occur during sleep, can provide insights into our daily experiences of height variation and contribute to our overall understanding of spinal health and function.
The phenomenon of being taller in the morning is attributed to the natural process of spinal decompression that occurs during sleep. Throughout the day, gravitational forces compress the intervertebral discs, causing them to lose water content and height. During sleep, the body assumes a horizontal position, allowing the discs to rehydrate and regain some of their lost height. As a result, the spine elongates slightly, leading to a temporary increase in height upon waking.
Additionally, the muscles supporting the spine relax during sleep, further facilitating spinal decompression and elongation. However, as the day progresses and gravitational forces once again act on the spine, the discs gradually lose water content and height, causing a slight reduction in overall height by the end of the day.
