I think they are usually caused by muscle spasms and usually because you have not stretched properly before AND after exercising. The best way to prevent them, of course, is to do the proper stretching exercises. Also Frankie mentioned a mineral deficiency. The best way to handle that is to take, for example, a TUMS or a mineral-enriched vitamin before you go to bed. I think Frankie is on the right track.

This is the most common cause I think. But I've also read that it can be caused from a mineral deficiency too. I have heard both a calcium deficiency and a potassium deficiency can cause them. Dehydration also can be the cause of a charley horse. Drink plenty of water, especially before exercising heavily!

Your body goes trough a cycle where it adjusts it self over time until it finally wears down creating charlie horse. Similary to earthquake fault lines building pressure then releasing with a quake.
