Nocturnal Leg Cramps - Help!

Kind of crazy but after suffering from leg cramps, often doubles on both legs at same time, I read (should say reread) something on Mayo to be sure and loosen all the sheets at the bottom of the bed, give your legs plenty of room to move around. I track this and it works sometimes but not always. Since doing this I have cut back on the number of nightly leg cramps and now have very few doubles. I've pretty much done everything else they suggest like water, electrolytes, stretching, heat, etc.

I leave the sheets untucked at the foot of the bed as well.....it works, along with not suddenly stretching my legs during the night but instead doing it very slowly and carefully....seems to not trigger the cramping.
