My foot from underneath is twitching slightly when i lay down and when i straighten my legs when im sitting what is this?

Spasm: muscle spasms. usually from dehydration/overuse. suggest hydrating well with water and electrolytes plus stretching. sometimes Tonic water with quinine-a glass-helps too. quinine comes with tonic water. no need to buy quinine tablets. would advise against that actually.
