8. Fatigue
If you are already overtired, you may be more prone to getting leg and foot cramps. When you are extra tired, there is a good chance that you might not be hydrating properly or eating properly. If your body has not had enough time to heal from the last time you exercised, it can also lead to cramping.
When the muscles are fatiguing, it will not use nutrients properly. This means that tired muscles will lose more nutrients than it is using. Getting muscle cramps during the night can be caused by this. When you are waking up with cramps through the night, you are likely to feel more tired as you are not getting the rest that you need. This can lead to a vicious cycle.
If you are experiencing leg cramps and have been feeling extra tired recently, try taking some time off to relax and allow your body time to heal simply.
