Leg cramps: Stretching your calf muscles before getting into bed may prevent those painful nocturnal leg cramps. Deficiencies of calcium , magnesium,sodium and potassium may be causes in some people. In any event the quinine in tonic water and the taking of magnesium oxide can occasionally prevent nocturnal leg cramps.

Stretch: Walk, stretch, avoid prolonged sitting. Swollen legs? Vein issues? Consider support stockings knee length. Searches for metabolic causes of nocturnal leg cramps are usually futile.
