A teenager should have plentiful of sleep during a groth spurt. (8 hours +). This is because humans grow the most during their sleep, so you want to take advantage of that. I've had past experience in my past and still am growing. During the start of my middle school year was when I started to grow. I was 4'9 in grade 6 and 5'2 in grade 8.

By the end of grade 8 I realised I wanted to be taller, so I ate real healthy and ate a lot too. At the start of high school, I was 5'3, now starting grade 11, I'm 5'7. So I'm growing at and average of 2'' per year. Now if I had more sleep, I would most likely be taller.

No you can't because your growth hormones are mainly produced during sleep, and inadequate sleep during puberty can stunt growth I'm sorry to say.
