You may have a condition called "Restless Leg Syndromme" (RLS) It is a degenerative neurological disease but not life threatening. I have this problem. I think that alcohol can at times make it worse. There is medication for it. It can be detected in a sleep study. Look up RLS and cramps on google or your favorite search engine.
