Stretch daily – Focus on calves, hamstrings, and feet
Stay hydrated – Drink water throughout the day
Balance electrolytes – Eat foods rich in magnesium (spinach, nuts), potassium (bananas, sweet potatoes), and calcium (dairy, leafy greens)
Wear supportive shoes – Avoid flat or worn-out footwear
Use a pillow under your feet – Keeps toes from pointing downward overnight
Try magnesium glycinate or citrate – Some studies show it reduces frequency
⚠️ See a doctor if cramps are:
Frequent (multiple times per week)
Severe or prolonged
Accompanied by swelling, redness, or weakness
Not improving with self-care
❤️ Final Thought: Painful Doesn’t Mean Inevitable
Night cramps may be common — but they’re not something you just have to live with.
Whether you’re 30 or 80, pregnant or athletic, understanding your risk gives you power.
Because with the right habits, hydration, and care…
You can trade those midnight twitches for deep, cramp-free sleep.
So stretch tonight.
Hydrate tomorrow.
And reclaim your rest — one calm breath at a time. 💙
