I am not on muscle relaxants, any advice on ones that dont make you too sleepy?

Hi,
My guess is that you work or excersise too much in the daytime. The twitching of arms, legs or other parts is quite normal. It happens because different parts of the muscles relax unevenly and the ones left behind catch up.
The cramp in your calf could be caused by over use, cold bedclothes, or nervous tension.
