Are leg cramps disturbing your sleep?


Leg cramps are most common during rest or sleep. To prevent leg cramps, stretch your calves and feet at least three times a day, including before bedtime. Stand two to three feet from a wall, placing your hands on the wall. Keep your heels on the floor. Bend one knee to lean toward the wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Straighten your leg. Repeat with the other knee. Stretch each leg at least three times. It also helps to drink plenty of fluids during the day.
