As one ages, the sleep duration will decline because of disturbance in the REM and NREM phase of sleep... anything further would be under the psychologist's specialty...Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Hmm... ok thanks
Oh and I do need the full 8 hours of sleep versus other people who only need 7 hours..
I hope its normal... -
That's why ppl fall sick prior to taking their exams... like stellazio has mentioned... (I am not sure of the reproducing cells rate) cells do regenerate because of the extensive damage it has taken in during the daytime when we are active (food, exercise, stress especially)...Originally posted by DriftingGuy:2:48 am - before 8 am... even the late sleeping doc will shake his head at this
If not enough time is granted for the cells to regenerate, the condition of the person will generally deteriorate... and as the immune system collapses, all types of disorders will come in from Neurology to Nephrology... -
Shit.. I think I might already be going through that "collapsing" phase man.. cos i do feel sleepier and sleepier everyday! Think i better sleep now liao...

haha...actually the more correct way of saying is: its e time where ur skin sheds n renew itselfOriginally posted by stellazio:my mums a beautician and she says that your cells reproduce the fastest from 11-1..
in chinese medicine, sleepin at e eleventh hr is e best as tis is where e 'sheng' rests as well. the 'sheng' (kidney?) is e main organ tat controls e bodily system...so if u rest tat well, u will feel better...(tatz wat they say...)

There ain't any much tips aside from the tips that some of the forumnites have gave earlier and the explanation that I have posted in the first few pages...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I got hope because I late bloomer. Family doctor says so. I can grow till 20 or 21 years old.
Growth in height comes with proper nutrition whereas after your vertical growth ceases, horizontal growth steps in, and that you need overly proper nutrition...
I have a friend who is a late bloomer, he was only aobut 130 cm tall when he was 17 years old, but recently when I saw him, he's 24 now, he was 40 cm taller... basically he started to grow taller, because it is his time of growth plus the suitable activities that he has adapted to and the food that he takes...
Our growth is partially controlled by the epiphyseal plates in our long bones (humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, metatarsals), and this in turn is controlled by sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone), which decides when to shut them up...
Another hormone which has the capability to alter the activities of growth in the human body is the well known growth hormone (excess of it leads to gigantism while deficient in it leads to dwarfism). This hormone has been genetically modified and has given way to a new method of cheating vertical growth.
However taking these genetically modified growth hormone may yield side effects (note that excessive endogenous growth hormone may also cause the same side effects). They include high cholesterol, diabetes, liver abnormalities, increased tissue stiffness, carpal tunnel syndrome, musculoskeletal disease, neuropathy, allergic reactions, pancreatitis, hyperglycemia, visual deterioration, headaches, vomiting, increased liver enzyme levels, increased sweating, pain in general and back pain specifically.
These common side effects are due to hormone-hormone interaction. Growth hormone is highly known to suppress insulin leading to hyperglycemia and its related condition. It is also known to suppress many other hormones such as the thyroid hormone which leads to liver abnormalities. Extensive growth also will compress the fascial sheath in our body leading to a feeling of tightness. Such rapid growth will also lead to what we all know as growing pains, hence leading to all the aches and pains one would complain about...
NOTE: The age that I have provided which was mentioned to be the age where growth ceases is only an average. There can be some people who may continue to grow up till 25 years old, but these are variants... -
STD is a common question to ask... Don't worry... When I was a medical student, a lot of my female friends would ask me about these things...Originally posted by rainee:ppl misunderstood my intention
For example, they would ask me questions like why menstruate, shaving pubic hair and its side effects, pus discharge from the vagina, abortion, contraceptions, pregnancy and oh well... there are so much more that I've forgotten... -

After what you say, I start to have doubts whether I can continue growing taller because I very picky about food. For sports, I am not that picky. In fact, I play all kinds of sports.Originally posted by renorenal:There ain't any much tips aside from the tips that some of the forumnites have gave earlier and the explanation that I have posted in the first few pages...

U can always ask for 2nd opinions. Some doctors... maybe incompetent ones can be wrong.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:After what you say, I start to have doubts whether I can continue growing taller because I very picky about food.
