I was having problems with that as well. I actually upped my water intake during the day and before I go to bed I take two tylonal. Its helped a lot.

Try increasing your potassium intake. Bananas are really good for that. I get cramps too and eating a lot bananas seems to help. You can also try stretching your calves before going to sleep. Hope that helps!
