RLS and leg cramping are 2 different things.

RLS constitutes the uncontrollable urge to move your legs, mainly while sleeping and not just cramping.

If you're just experiencing cramping, then there is most likely an underlying cause, such as being deficient in Potassium and adding a supplement can help, but it shouldn't be done without your doctors approval.

Learn more Potassium details here.

Another thing that may cause it is dehydration. Have you been more active than usual?
