It works because Tonic water has Quinine in it, for night cramps you should be able to get Quinine Sulphate tables from any pharmacy.
 
But only to supplement your Gin +Tonic intake of course.:D:D

I have good news and bad news; tonic water no longer has quinine in it, but I find more gin compensates, hick.  :-\

Dehydration can cause leg cramps - so maybe it was the water that was helping  :)

hubblesbubbles if you put a few lightweight magnets in the Duvet cover at the bottom (your feet end!) that will really help too!  :)
