FACT CHECK: Soap in Bed Combats Leg Cramps?

Google to find literally dozens and dozens of anecdotal experiences with this approach.
When I first read about this technique a few years ago, I chuckled at how naive some folks could be.

After waking up in excruciating pain in the middle of the night once again (and trying the yellow mustard concoction, that made me gag), I finally decided..."why not give it a try?"

I have had a bar of Dial between the bottom sheet and mattress cover, down by my knees, for the last few years...and haven't had cramps even once!

I don't care if it is psychosomatic or not, all I know...it's worked for me!
