Does increasing the strength on the lifts mean that you had good and enough sleep? I'm 18 and I fear that some nights that I sleep only around 6h are stopping me from getting as strong, big and tall as I would have if I somehow slept more (at least 8h every single day). I've been lifting for 2 and 3/4 months and keep getting stronger, but I'm 172cm and my older brother and father are both around 182-184cm
Sleeping enough will give your body more time to repair itself after working out.
But it's not a direct correlation, just make sure you're eating enough and sleeping enough and hitting macros.

You can only tell over the course of like a week.
But generally you need to average like 6-8.
Sometimes I average 6 and feel fine. Sometimes I average 6 and feel drained, so I effort to get more.
Once you're over puberty, I think you need less sleep. Then as you age, you actually need more IF you're still very physically active.
You won't get taller.
And no, getting stronger doesn't mean that you got enough sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you get stronger, but it's possible to gain strength despite bad sleep. Bodorio who trips in /plg/ have had periods of insomnia and he's the swedish national powerlifting champion now.

Don't fret too much over an hour or two, six hours is still pretty good in a busy schedule, just make sure you get macros and energy as good as possible
Some nights I notice if I don't sleep enough I don't get much doms the following day, but instead get "after doms" next day
>>38677365
Also you probably won't grow 10cm at this point, you can grow even up to around 27 years old, but I wouldn't expect growing even 5cm

And make use of those manlet gains
Fuck I'm dozy right now
