      Night time cramps may be due to the following reasons:
      - as a result of having a flat foot
      - when a person looses too much water
      - after excess of exercise
      - standing on concrete for a long time
      - irregular sleeping positions
      - a thyroid disease
      - a lack of potassium, calcium, or other minerals
      - sitting for a long period of time
      - taking certain medications, such as steroids, birth control pills, diuretic, antipsycotics, and - statins.

        Act as though it's a shortage of potassium and eat a banana before going to sleep....
