Most people have reached their full height by age 18 or 19. Unfortunately, yoga is not going to be able to help you grow anymore than you are genetically predetermined to grow. If you are interested to see approximately how tall you will grow, you might want to look at your relatives, particularly relatives of the same sex as you.

With this said, you may be able to unlock tension in your spine or back and add an additional centimeter or two to your overall height. But do not expect miracles. In order for this to occur, you will want to do asanas which focus on your back and spine, such as threading the needle pose, bridge pose and spinal twists. You may also benefit from the standing poses, such as tree pose and prayer pose. But remember, you may only gain a centimeter or two on your overall height with yoga, not inches or feet.

As well, there is no proper way to sleep to help you grow. Since you are 22, it is most likely you have already reached your maximum height. Sleeping on your back or stomach or side is not going to change this.
