Leg cramps during sleep at night may be caused by inadequate leg warmth, leading to poor blood circulation due to cold exposure. They can also result from excessive fatigue or intense physical activity during the day. Additionally, calcium deficiency in the body may cause these symptoms, sometimes accompanied by bone pain and perioral numbness.
