And don't stand up quickly after doing this or you will faint. Get up slowly and crawl into bed.
I'll try it.

My sleep is mostly fine, I work hard, physically, so I'm tired at the end of the day. But many times, I have cramps in various muscles in my legs that attack me when I'm just trying to roll over or shift the covers. Ho. Lee. Shit. From zero to excruciating in nothing flat. The worst is when muscles from opposing groups are both cramping--no stretching one because it exacerbates the other set. JFC. Or when both legs are cramping, just misery.

Stretches? OK! It can't be worse.
