the change in weather.
low vitamin D, and pottasium levels. drink more milk and start eating bananas. that should help you out. also muscles cramp from lack of oxygen... do you smoke? if so this may be a sign to you to stop. and low blood pressure can also cause cramps... if eating more bananas and drinking more milk doesnt help, go see a doctor
Lack of potasium will cause charlie horses like mad! Eat Bananas regularly and see if that helps.
Poor circulation. Your doctor can prescribe a medicine for you or there are some over the counter things to try. Make sure you are giving some circulation in your legs too. Massage them, take warm baths, go for walks. Get some circulation!

could be lack of calcium or from an old injury, arthritis yuck.
is it when you first wake up? cause that's the same for me. its a lack of nutrients....
Could be lack of potassium. Eating bananas help. You could be on a water pill and not drinking enough fluids - that will definitely invite some cramps... Or, you could be an athlete who has not properly warmed up before exercise and the muscles have cramped up. Could be due to other health conditions: ie: thyroid, etc..)
Best bet, talk with your doctor, get some lab work done to ID the problem specifically to be safe.
