Doctors and scientists have speculated that muscle cramps are caused by a number of things, but there has yet to be any conclusive evidence that points to a single source as the cause or trigger. Below are some of the things that may increase your chances of experiencing leg cramps at night:
· Poor blood circulation is often noted as a very likely trigger for nocturnal leg cramps and muscle cramps in general.
· Lack of hydration is thought to increase your chances of experiencing a muscle cramp – doctors recommend that you drink about 5 to 8 glasses of water a day depending on climate, how physically active you are, weight, sodium intake and other factors.
· A lack of essential vitamins and minerals in your diet may increase your chances of getting a leg cramp. Not having enough magnesium and potassium is thought to be directly related to unexpected cramping in some way, but the exact science behind this is still largely unknown.
· Poor physical condition can lead to frequent muscle cramping. Making sure to regularly exercise and stretch your muscles is one of the best ways to lower your chances of getting a night cramp. Maintaining a healthy weight and positive overall health can also greatly reduce the chance of muscle cramps. Learn more about exercises and stretches for leg cramps

· Various diuretics and other medications can make your muscles much more likely to cramp. Any medication that removes body fluids will likely increase the chance of a cramp or spasm. Medications for Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, osteoporosis, asthma and various other conditions may increase your chances of experiencing a muscle cramp - ask your doctor about the medications you are taking and nighttime leg cramps if you think they might be the cause.
