The Most Frequent Causes
1. Dehydration
One of the most common reasons is a lack of fluids.
When the body does not have enough water, the balance of minerals needed for muscle function can be disrupted, leading to spasms and cramps.
Some signs of dehydration include:
Frequent thirst.
Dry mouth.
Fatigue.
Dark urine.
2. Mineral Deficiency
Muscles need certain minerals to function properly.
Among the most important are:
Magnesium.
Potassium.
Calcium.
Sodium.
An imbalance in these nutrients can increase the likelihood of experiencing cramps, especially at night.
3. Prolonged Sitting or Standing
People who spend long hours in the same position may experience increased muscle tension.
This happens frequently in:
Office workers.
Drivers.
Healthcare personnel.
People who spend many hours standing.
Lack of movement can promote the appearance of involuntary contractions during rest.
4. Excessive Physical Exertion
After intense physical activity, muscles can become fatigued.
If there is no adequate recovery, cramps may appear during the night as a result of the accumulated effort.
