I too experience muscle spasms that vary from being in my feet, or ankles, and boy do they hurt.
The other nite I had one in my big toe of my right foot.
It lasted from 5:45 pm to the next morning.
I tried pain meds, CBD ointment, ice pack and massaging it.
Nothing helped the spasms go away.
I must’ve finally fallen asleep sometime around 4:30 am.
When I woke up at around 9:00am, the pain was gone.
Same happened again prior to that occurrence, but this time it was in my left ankle area.
Again it lasted 10 hrs, and I was unable to fall asleep
Again I tried everything I could think of including Tramadol and nothing worked.
When it goes away, I’m finally able to get some sleep.
These spasms come on without warning, last a really longtime and make me want to jump out a window.
They’re no fun at all, and I never know where they’ll start and how long they’ll last.

Gabapentin 300mg has been my lifesaver. I take it only when necessary and right now I’m pain free since the initial episode. I’m hoping it doesn’t return
I can enpathise with you Motown. There are nights when my one leg start jumping and will not lie still no matter what I do. Or electrical shock feelin in my ankles. Like yo, I am awake until the early hours of the next morning. It is a rial and I do try to offer it up with Christ's suffering but still pray that it would go away so that I can get some sleep.

You may want to try Calm magnesium before bedtime and drink a good amount of water throughout the day to see if that can help prevent or reduce the severity of cramps at nighttime so you can sleep better.
