Hi, measuring height?!
Question: Hi, I have just measured my height in the usual way, standing up against a wall and then marking and measuring. However I have tried measuring my height lying down, someone told me that they sometimes measure height this way in hospitals when the patient is unable to stand. I am completely flat on the ground and measure from my head to my feet, just the same as the usal method only I'm lying down. To my amazment I seem to me and inch and a bit taller, is this a relaible way to measure, is it more accurate doing it this way than the traditonal way. I mean its just the same only lying down. It also seems to make sense as people always say that I look taller than I tell them. What do you think

Standing is the best way! Your joints are more compact. Your weight and gravity will give the best result.
