Height Shrinkage (Loss) during the Day - YouTube

Hi, Big Rob from Celeb Heights here.

In this video I'm going to show you my height, from morning to evening, because we all wake

up taller and shrink during the day.

The effects of gravity on our spine mean the water content of our discs seeps out a little bit

So when you've got like 20 discs, that tiny amount adds up to maybe half an inch, maybe

even in some cases you could shrink a full inch.

But let's find how tall I am, literally a few minutes out of bed.

It's just after 8 o'clock, and we'll check our height a couple of times during the day

to see how much we shrink.

So I'm going to stand tall for each measurement.

So I'm literally 175., I think that's .3.

So it's now just after quarter past nine.

That's me been up an hour.

I've done the hair, put the make-up on, I've even done the dishes.

But how much have I shrunk?

Let's find out.

Same again, standing tall.

So you can see that an hour out of bed I'm not down to about 174.3 to 4, 174.3 to 4

So it's now nearly 10.30 and I've been up just over 2 hours now.

In the first hour you saw I shrank a good centimetre, so in this second hour, let's find

out how much I shrank.

I've just been on the computer, doing some CelebHeights stuff.

So let's check it out.

Standing tall.

So after the second hour, I have shrunk nothing.

I'm still just about 174.3

So it's now 12 o'clock and for the last hour

and a half I've been out and about.

I was down at the shops, getting some messages.

So I've been quite active on my feet compared to the previous hour, where we've just been

sitting at the computer.

So let's find out at 12 o'clock, which is nearly 4 hours out of bed what Height I am.

Standing tall.

So at 12 o'clock, just under 4 hours out of bed, 174 centimetres on the nose.

So it's now quarter past 2 and that's me been up for 6 hours.

In the last couple of hours I've just been out for a walk and doing

bits and bobs around the house.

So I've been on my feet.

The last time we checked, was 12 o'clock, I was 174 centimetres.

Let's see what I am at 6 hours out of bed.

So same again, standing tall.

So now 6 hours out of bed, you can see I've dropped another couple of millimetres.

I'm now at 173.8.

So it's just gone half Five and it's been about 3 hours since my last measurement.

I've just been at the computer doing some work and a few bits around the house.

Nothing to taxing on my spine.

So let's find out.

Same again, standing tall.

So just past half past five and I would say that is 173.7 or maybe 173.7 to 173.8

So it's just about 10 past 8.

And I'm going to do a final measurement.

I've just been out for a short walk and watching a television programme.

So let's find out what we are.

Standing tall.

So at ten past 8 I actually creeped back up a couple of millimetres to nearer 173.9.

So at 8 o'clock this morning I started off at 175.3 and I quite quickly shrunk down in

the first hour or two and by lunchtime, about 2 o'clock I was kind of at my low, 173.7ish,

173.8.

Then the same again at tea-time, but by evening I sat down and watched a programme, went for

a short walk and I actually creeped back up a couple of millimetres, which isn't uncommon.

I found that in the past, I've managed to stay the same or even slightly increase a little bit

maybe your back on the couch isn't under as much stress as it is maybe sitting at the

computer, or just pottering about the house.

So my shrinkage was about 1.5cm or 0.6 inches.

Now that's a typical day for me.

If it was a more active day, say I had a job...a standing job or a job involving lifting or

something that involved rotating the spine, that might put more stress on your spine,

on your discs and you might shrink faster and to a lower height.

I mean today I was nearly 5 foot 8 and 3/8ths on the stadiometer.

I didn't drop down to 5 foot 8 and a quarter or even lower.

On some days, if I'm quite active I might drop down a few more millimetres.

On average, people can shrink about 0.7 inches, 1.8, 1.9 centimetres.

I'll show you a little graph of my own shrinkage from morning till night
