The height threads never rest.
Stop driving yourself crazy. I have this insane vision of you setting your alarm clock to 3 AM with a tape measure at arms-length and ready to go.
You probably haven't shrunk and you probably don't shrink appreciably during the day. Shoes, clothing, and hair may create an illusion that a man is taller (or shorter, thinner or fatter, darker or fairer) than he actually is.
Don't go crazy over trying to determine whether you're five seven and three quarter inches or five eight and one eighth inch. You want to know the truth, ask people if you're tall or short. It doesn't matter what you say or what you think the tape-measure says as most men exaggerate every number than pertains to them. Tell everyone you're five eight... five nine! It doesn't make a difference. You'll still appear the same height to everyone. Short of losing weight, wearing black with vertical stripes, styling your hair up, and adorning a pair of platform shoes (I wish you could see the picture in my mind...) there's really not a lot you can or should do.
The older you get, the less this will matter to you.
The more you dwell on specific disadvantages that you cannot do anything about, the less time you have to develop strengths in other areas.
