Height Issue

Is it possible to shrink about an inch throughout the day? Also, is it possible to shrink a quarter of an inch within the first few minutes out of bed?

Here's my situation. When I get some good sleep and I stretch well in the morning right after waking up, I go to measure myself and I see that the top of my head is at the 5'10 mark.

However, a few minutes later, and the top of my head will be a quarter of an inch less already.

Also, in the afternoon, I'm 5'9 according to my last doctor's visit. Does this all sound normal?
 
When you lay down, the compression on your spine is abated and your body will relax. As soon as you stand up, the weight of your body will cause your spine to start to compress, which could account for your drop in height...

I wouldn't be so concerned about it. It's who you are, not how tall you are.
