Will I have another growth spurt at 15?
The occurrence of teenage growth spurt might vary. Yet, on average, a major growth spurt during puberty usually happens between 8 and 13 years in girls and 9.5 and 14 years in boys (1). Whereas this phase of rapid growth in most girls ends by 15 years of age, it may continue until 16 or 17 years in boys (2).

Does sleep affect height?
But over the long term, a person’s growth may be affected by not getting the full amount of sleep. That’s because growth hormone is normally released during sleep. If someone consistently gets too little sleep (known as “sleep deprivation”), growth hormone is suppressed. Lack of sleep also can affect other hormones.

- Foot growth is another likely sign of height growth.
