Catch up growth after year of bad sleep?

Skeletal Development

during this school year I haven’t grown at all but my growth plates are open and BA is 16-17 according to x ray. I heard that bad sleep can stunt growth due to the first lack of GH release and also the cortisol that is produced as you deprive yourself of sleep. this was because of school I often slept for 4-5 hours and stayed up until 12 or so. anyways since it’s summer will I begin growing again???
