What Do Leg Cramps At Night Indicate?

Last night I had leg cramps in the middle of the night. First my left leg then my right then back and forth several times, It almost felt as if the cramp was moving through my body of that makes sense. It was not similar to a Charley Horse it was an entirely different type of cramp. I did go deer hunting and was walking longer distances than normal in snow climbing into 18 ft high tree stand etc, Is this something to worry about?

Might be Restless legs syndrome. In this you feel uneasy and want to move your legs at night... Vitamin supplements, yoga meditation and massage might help
