my calf muscle cramped and woke me up?

So, this morning at 430am I was woken up by a severe cramp in my right calf muscle. This has happened to me before, but not in almost a year. I tried to get up and walk it off and it hurt so bad I barely made it to the bathroom. I finally went back to sleep and when I woke up, the cramp was all but gone. There is still some achyness in the calf.

What causes this? Could it be the way I was sleeping? It was pretty random though.

eat a banana around dinner time, most often it means low potassium, sometimes it is low magnesium

bout's of cramp will also be brought about by way of no longer ingesting sufficient water and that i do not imply tea and low,i imply simply water,recall your is frame is 70% water,take a look at ingesting five litre's of simply water an afternoon,the main issue will have to leave.
