Leg Cramps at night, not occurring more frequently than once in six months, as a rule, are not a cause for concern. This condition was present in most people.

However, recurring leg cramps at night, not only interfere with normal sleep, but is forced to seriously ponder over the nature of their occurrence.

Such conditions are a long and powerful muscle contraction. It should be noted that the leg cramps at night are not under conscious control of the nervous system. Of course, in some cases, muscle contraction is directly dependent on disorder of the CNS, however, to the manifestations at night they are almost irrelevant.

For a clearer understanding of the nature of cramps in legs at night should be about to bring the muscle fibers. It is based on displacement of several protein structures relative to each other. The main elements are myosin and actin. Normal contractile function and the subsequent relaxation is performed only in the case when the muscle has a sufficient level of nutrient substrates. This role is played by ATP molecule. Without it, the two proteins are in a shortened position and not relax ever. In other words going on a prolonged muscle contraction – spasm.

It Should be noted that such a condition rarely seen by day. Night leg cramps due to lower the body's thermoregulation. Centre, providing control over this feature, together with the man “sleep”. Thus, there is a “cooling” of the body.

Reduction of blood circulation in muscles contributes to the stiffness of the trunk during sleep. For the smooth implementation of this process requires the movement of muscles, and at night it is minimal. As you know, healthy circulation is provided by a stable contraction and relaxation of muscles. When this occurs, the compression and expansion of the vessels located in them. Which in turn promotes blood flow (inflow and outflow) to the tissues.

Besides, slow blood circulation and “slowing” of heart rate, decline in their power and intensity. Due to this, the overall body temperature decreases at night.

Thus, we can conclude that prolonged reduction caused by cooling. However, it should be noted that the temperature of the muscles is not reduced significantly. This is due to the existence of a “threshold” cool. Below a certain level, lowering the temperature in cells is not allowed. In this case, the muscle produces heat independently. It is in conditions of severe energy deficit and running due to the intracellular supply of ATP. As a result, when the first contraction of the muscle fiber, lack of energy and just "chemically" unable to relax. Thus, and there is a night cramp.

Some experts compare long acronyms with rigor Mortis. It also occurs due to the destruction or the use of the stock ATF. Thus, there is spasserovannye the entire musculature.

Such is the mechanism of formation of convulsions during prolonged swimming or after a long break. In such cases there is a sharp narrowing of blood vessels - a reaction to exposure to cold. This, in turn, affects the food-producing warmth of hard muscle.

The Regular appearance of leg cramps at night is a signal for seeking help from a specialist.

It Should be noted that, as a rule, prolonged muscle contractions more affected people in older age. State data can be associated with diseases of the cardiovascular system.
