Oddbean new post about login | logout There are nice ways to wake up in the middle of the night. A leg cramp so bad you shriek as you grab your muscle in agony is not one of them 😩
@06d3112a I thought I was the only one. I get them in my calves and feet. Especially if I'm stretching my legs in my sleep. Excruciating pain.
It can be a sign of potassium, and/or magnesium, deficiency. Bananas and dates are natural sources. I tried keeping a banana on my night stand, but rubbing it on my calf during a cramp wasn't near as effective as eating several the day before.😜
