Yes, apparently we are taller in the mornings than in the evening..

Disc heights
In the lumbar spine the discs are of an average height of 10 mm each. During the day, as we perform activities with the weight on our spines, the discs lose a certain amount of water as the pressure squeezes it out. Lying down will allow water to be reabsorbed into the disc and the height to be restored.

You may notice you are taller in the mornings! I notice I have to adjust the car mirror at different times of day, down in evenings and up in the mornings. I don't think I sit any different!

Many of us think that disc heights decline with age, one of the reasons why we may get shorter as we get older. In fact disc do not narrow naturally with age, discs narrow due to a disruption of the discs capacity to function, in other words something has to go wrong.
