Leg cramps are suddden involuntary contractions of muscles mostly occur in calf or thigh muscles
Common causes are Dehydration & Electrolyte Imbalance,Overuse or Inactivity,Medications, pregnancy ,Poor Circulation or Nerve Compression....In your case ,it seems like to be dehydration and electrolytes deficiencies like calcium, magnesium or potassium ...So
Stay consistently hydrated throughout the day.
Ensure adequate intake of dietary magnesium and potassium (e.g., bananas, leafy greens, nuts).
Perform light leg stretches before bed, especially if you experience night cramps.
Wear supportive footwear with adequate arch support
Also one of the causing factors is sleep position like sleeping on your back or stomach, your feet naturally point downward. This keeps the calf muscle shortened, making it far more vulnerable to involuntary, forceful contractions
Consider all these factors and contact doctor if no improvement...
