Hi,

The cramps are due to electrolyte deficiency.

* Drink oral electrolytes drinks available over the counter before sleep.
* You can eat bananas twice a day.
* Avoid stressful work under the sun and keep hydrated throughout the day. You will get well for sure

Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
