Night Leg Cramps Causes

Tired Muscles

Nocturnal leg cramps are more common in people with active lifestyles. This is because working out excessively would make the muscles and tissues exhausted. Cramps and pain occur during the night when these parts get contracted after an extended period of tense activities during the day. The risk can be higher in professional athletes, workers, farmers, and those people who mostly stand in their job sites. Try to take frequent breaks and rest during the day to improve your symptoms.
