Could be lack of potassium. Have the doctor do a lab test or try supplements.

Me too!! Such pain! I even had it happen during the day.
I try to stretch before bed time to lenghten the muscles, which helps. I also have been getting up a lot at night and urinating which causes lost of potassium and this can cause those night cramps. So I went out and bought a bottle of natural potassium to replace it. Banana's also contain good amounts of potassium. Also massaging the muscles of the legs before going to bed and in the mornings will help.

Eat a banana every day for a couple of days. You need more potassium. It works like a charm.
Also when you get a cramp, raise you r leg up a few feet with out bending it..the pain subsides almost instantly.

Yeah, I used to get that a lot. Not so much anymore. The type of cramp that paralyses you because its so painful and you can't walk properly for 2 or 3 days afterwards!

i used to get that when i had jobs i was standing up on
playing waitress and stuff till late hours
is you are in fact a chef you must work on your feet
whether you finish your shift two minutes or four hours before you go to bed
make sure you take a relaxed walk for three minutes and stretch out after
after stretching shake your feet real good

It could be a potassium problem. See your doctor and get some labs drawn to check.
