Potassium deficiency does cause cramps and water is very important. One other possible cause is if you don't stretch and you sleep on your stomach your feet only stretch one way and can cause cramps. Try stretching your legs and feet and put a pillow under your ankles.

This is a strange one, but I know people who swear it helps and others that say it didn't do a thing, Try putting a bar of soap under your bottom sheet.

Try eating a banana at bed time...something about potassium low i believe. Try it there cheaper than a Dr. visit...

Usually it is potassium deficiency. Try one banana a day to clear it up. If you don't like bananas, try orange juice.

i think it's because the circulation of your blood to your feet was interrupted. try doing streches with your feet.

It is caused by a vitamin and or mineral deficiency.
