Your height in supine position

Have you ever measured your height in supine position? 
If you haven’t, let’s compare your height in supine and erect position! 

My daughter and I measured our height in supine and erect position. 
My daughter’s height 
Erect: 113.0 cm, Supine: 115.0 cm 
My height 
Erect: 170.5 cm, Supine: 172.5 cm 
 
Awesome! Our height increased by 2.0 cm in supine position. 
 
This result is not unusual if you learned in the field of medicine. 

Here is a tip. 
Your intervertebral disc works like a sponge. 

Astronauts wear their spacesuits whose size is larger than their clothes, 
because their height increases in the field of zero gravity. 

Hope you and your kids enjoy the exam.
