I measured myself barefoot this morning right out of bed. It came out to 184cm on the dot with my head, back, and feet to the wall. I used a tape measure and positioned it to be at the side of my foot and the back of my skull (tallest point).
In prior measurements (roughly 30m-1hr post waking) i've gotten between 182.5cm and 183.3cm
Is this just an anomalous measurement? I measured multiple times.
Now since 184cm is ~6'0.5" is it acceptable to claim 6 and a half or 6'1"?
I always feel pretty dead average even in my daily running sneakers which add ~1.75in. In these I've measured at approx 187-188cm 2-3hrs post-wake. At night after a full day of walking/gym/work I usually measure in at 182cm solid, 181.7cm if it was a long/strenuous day or if I went out at night.
Very confused on my "true height" and what I should claim. I always thought of myself as a weak 6 footer, not a formidable one at 183.5-184cm.
Hopefully I can get some insights from you guys.
