Muscle cramps during the night though lads and ladies

[Paris]

These are truly horrible aren’t they? I’d rather watch the RS lift a trophy than experience another spasm. My calf is properly badgered too this morning

Foot cramp in the bridge of your foot at 2am, unreal.

Horrible, those calf cramps are agony.
It can be caused partially by dehydration, so try drinking plenty of water before bed.

Although us 40+ folks have to balance that with then needing more early morning toilet trips ffs

Yeah, this was my first one in a while! I've also read that it can be caused by excessive exercise...

Used to get them after a long day in the field playing cricket, absolute mayhem jumping out of bed trying to stretch it out and not wake the house with screams

Zero danger of that on my end

Try drinking sawdust...
I don't suffer them anymore, cos I'm lazy.

Killer. Having a board at the foot of the bed helps for something to push it against.

Toes going into spasm as well. Not had it for ages though.

Stop trying to look over your neighbour’s wall to blimp the wife might help.

Try amputating the offending limb with a skillsaw.

Those cramps will be nowt but a distant memory.

When it wakes you up but you lie there trying...hoping...to fend it off but can't and then the cramp hits like a vice so you have to jump out of bed but because you've left it too late you can hardly stand making it ten times worse.

Restless Leg Sysndrome...been the bane of my last 20 years. However, a friend of the Mrs randomly suggested lavender oil on the soles of the feet as you get in bed. Was a particular one from Holland & Barrett....and by Christ, 3 weeks in and I've slept like a baby.
