It could be a number of problems.

Either you live in a metropolitan area where you spend to much time stepping on the brakes in the car while sitting in traffic.

Your football team has recently lossed in the playoffs and you spent the week stomping you feet in frustration or;

you watched the debates over the weekend and during fits of laughter stomped down on your feet:-)

Most likely though it is tied to dehydration and poor arch support.

In general, cramps are caused by dehydration. Reduce alcohol, caffeine and other drugs that are dehydrating.
Drink more liquids before sleeping.

Perhaps because you are resting them? Sound stupid, but if you have been on your feet all day, then you need a cool down period, just like after exercising. You could try my favorite, nice bowl of warm water, throw in some kids marbles and gently massage feet by rolling them over the marbles. Good Luck
