Ugh, wish I read this earlier!

A diet rich in certain nutrients can support muscle function and reduce the likelihood of cramps. Foods high in potassium, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and spinach, can help maintain proper muscle contraction. Magnesium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains can prevent cramps and improve muscle relaxation. Calcium from dairy products or fortified substitutes helps support muscle and nerve function. For those unable to get enough from dietary sources, supplements for magnesium or potassium may be considered but should be taken under medical guidance.

Improving sleep quality begins with maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, going to bed, and waking up at the same time daily. Limiting exposure to screens before bed helps regulate the body’s internal clock. Engaging in relaxing activities, such as reading or taking a warm bath, can help prepare the mind and body for sleep. Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, especially close to bedtime, can also play a significant role in enhancing sleep quality.
