You grow and shrink about 1% per day, as you get compressed when you stand up and decompress when you sleep. That is about 1.5 cm, and with a human height standard deviation is about 6cm you get around 0.25 standard deviation variation when measuring the height of a single human at different times of day, or about 4 point difference if we have 15 points per standard deviation.
