All about Leg Cramps at Night

3. Short Tendons
Our tendons are a very important part of our anatomy because they attach our muscles to our bones and adequate flexibility of the tendons help to ensure that we are mobile. They act almost like cables, pulling on other parts of our body when we contract a muscle. They are made of strong materials that allow them to take the strain, but we can develop problems with our tendons.
Some people will find that their tendons become shorter over time and this will cause the muscles to pull more on other parts of the body. This can result in a variety of unwelcome symptoms, and cramps at night is one of them.
