What to do against leg cramps?

What are you doing against calf cramps in the night? When things got really bad for me, I tried an old tip from my grandmother, about whom I always made fun of before.

So ... put a piece of soap in a washcloth under the bed sheet near the calves and finally sleep through spasm-free. Grandma is and always will be the best.

Does anyone know why it is that helps? Or is that the placebo effect?

PS: Do not laugh, try it!
