My dad I think was not far off 5ft10 in his prime and my mom is about 5ft1 or 5ft2. My younger brother grew to 6ft (I know sucks for me)

Anyway I ended up growing to only 5ft7 3/4. Due to my autism/aspergers sleep was always a problem as a child and teenager.
How many inches taller do you think I could have potentially been if I slept better growing up? I had a growth spurt when I was 13 but I did start puberty earlier than a lot of my friends

I slept pretty well as a kid.

I came out to be 5 foot 4.75. My brother is 5 foot 10. My father was also 5 foot 10. My mother is 5 foot 1.5.

Yeah seems like you inherited more of your mothers height.

Yep. That's possible.
