Night cramps are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions that strike during sleep, often waking people with sharp, intense pain. While the spasm itself may last only a few seconds to a couple of minutes, the soreness can linger and disrupt rest. Though nearly everyone experiences a night cramp at some point, certain groups are far more vulnerable because of age, health conditions, lifestyle habits, or medication use. Understanding these risk factors is key to both prevention and better management.
