I've been staying up till 1 or 2am every night and then waking up at around 7:30 or 8:00 for around 10 months. I play basketball, but I am only 5'7. My brothers are all taller than 6 foot. I am 16 and want to get taller. Is it too late for me?

Well, you need to learn a few things. For starters, six hours of sleep is not enough for a growing boy. You need eight or nine hours every night. Then you need to study some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right. Nobody is going to tell you any such thing, not even a doctor. Doctors have no training in nutrition, and American teens are notoriously deficient in calcium, magnesium and B vitamins. (Have you ever wet the bed? That's caused by magnesium deficiency.)

Type in your details and see what you get. You almost certainly will grow some more by age 21 or so. After that there are just two ways to make yourself taller:
1. Put lifts in your shoes.
2. Put a box on your head.
