Who Is Most at Risk of Night Cramps?
\nIf you\u2019ve ever been jolted awake in the middle of the night by a sudden, stabbing pain in your calf or foot, you know just how excruciating night cramps can be. These involuntary muscle contractions are not only painful but can also rob you of precious sleep. While almost anyone can experience them, research shows that certain groups of people are far more likely to suffer from nighttime cramps than others.<\/p>\n

Health Conditions<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at who\u2019s most at risk, why it happens, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n

1. Older Adults
\nAge is one of the biggest predictors of night cramps. In fact, about 1 in 3 people over 60 deal with them regularly.<\/p>\n

Why it happens:<\/p>\n

Muscles lose flexibility and elasticity with age.<\/p>\n

Nerves become less efficient at sending signals.<\/p>\n

Circulation slows down, reducing blood flow to the legs and feet.<\/p>\n

This combination makes seniors especially prone to nighttime spasms.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Women
\nLeg cramps are a common complaint during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
