So last night, at approx. 2am, I awoke with what I could best call a sense of euphoria. I had this super-comfortable feeling come over me, the temp was perfect, my nose was uncharacteristically extremely clear, I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I was laying there smiling, counting my blessings.
That lasted for approx. 10 seconds, and then I got the most God-awful leg cramp. This happens approx. once a year. It is interesting that I always wake right before the leg cramp.
Any good home remedies for leg cramps? I generally pound on my leg with my fist, and squeeze my upper lip, and I thrash about so my wife wakes up (and can appreciate my agony). Sometimes I have a banana, but I doubt the potassium from a banana is particularly fast-acting.
