I get cramps nearly every night during sleep aswell.

When I first started getting them I had DH rub it out but when he was on night shift one night i had to deal with it my self and found a method that actually works much better. DH got the sack from rubbing them out lol.

I get straight off the bed and put pressure on my toes and lower my heel to the ground.
This method for me cuts the length of the pain in half, if not more.

They are horrible things, best of luck finding your way of dealing with them.

I only have a couple of weeks to deal with them left yah!
