Take-Home Message
The options above should help some people avoid nightly leg cramps. For others leg cramps can also be due to mental-emotional factors which you may need to explore further. One factor people can relate to is being stressed and overworked, which locks our bodies in a sympathetic mode. Our body complains when we don’t take the time to attend to it properly and Lag cramps can definitely be a sign of this.
You should take some time at the end of the day to relax by breathing deeply for a couple of minutes and thinking of things that happened during the day which you are grateful for. This simple mental exercise often helps people de-stress which puts you in the parasympathetic mode needed for recovery and rejuvenation.
