for starters, i am not a big fan of pepsi or any artificially sweetened drinks.

back to the point, though... if your arm cramps are at their worst during nocturnal hours, I would suggest plenty of gentle stretching 30 minutes before sleep. Also, try and sleep on your back with your arms fully extended to your sides (like a cross) for maximum blood flow. if you sleep on your sides, and thus prevent full circulation of blood to your arms, this may cause cramping and be the culprit.

Finally, milk and banana's are not allowed on the diet. I would try a herbal tea before bedtime, as the warmth will help you fall asleep. Plus, camomile and valerian teas have anesthetic properties that help you relax and fall asleep. you could also place a few drops of pure lavender oil on your pillow, which also has sedative effects on the body.

good luck 8)
