What in being able to sleep.... that's my best night's sleep since I got the thing in July.... I've noticed it improving, but don't know why.... could be the darker mornings. If it goes the opposite way come spring time I'll invest in some blackout curtains.I think if Mrs GM had that watch thing, she would make it go off the scale

My sleep is currently appalling.Insomnia is ruling my world and making my chronic fatigue almost unbearable. I have got a fit bit which I used when I was off sick but I really don't need it to tell me I'm wide awake from about 1am.

Tips to Help Get Rid of Smelly Feet
- Try soaking your feet in mouthwash.
- Try putting medicated insoles in your shoes.
- Drink a lot of water. It is a better way to fight body odor.
- Wear open toe sandals in summer and go barefoot at home in the evenings.
- Wear leather or canvas shoes, as they let your feet breathe, unlike plastic ones.
- Fill a bowl with warm water and oatmeal, squeeze oats till water is milky then soak for 10 minutes and pat dry.
- Mix two tablespoons of Epsom salts in two quarts of warm to clean and freshen up the feet, this solution will also help keep feet dry.
- It is best not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row - they need time to dry out. Remove the innersoles from to help with the drying.
- Dab between your toes with cotton wool dipped in surgical spirit after a shower or bath. Surgical spirit helps dry out the skin between the toes.
- Take some turnip juice or radish juice and try rubbing your feet with it. Being natural deodorants, these juices are excellent mediums of fighting body odor.
- Sprinkle talcum powder all over the feet or dust with baking soda to help reduce heavy sweating. Alternatively soak your feet in 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water.
- Taking a bath with some ginger for a long time helps one to sweat and rid body of toxins buy some ginger root-mash it up and use the juice and rub it on your feet.
- Use a spray deodorant or antiperspirant on your feet. A normal underarm deodorant or antiperspirant works just as well as specialist feet products - and costs less!
- Some sports socks have ventilation panels to keep feet dry, and antibacterial socks are impregnated with chemicals to discourage odor producing bacteria that feed on sweat.
- Try soaking your feet in strong black tea for half an hour daily for 7 days. The tannic acid in the tea destroys bacteria and closes the pores keeping the feet dry for longer periods.
- Try placing dryer sheets in each shoe. It helps covers the smell, however this is not an ideal solution as you are looking to rid your problem of smelly feet and not disguise them.
- Some foot smell is caused by the same bacteria that cause acne so consider using 10% benzoyl peroxide. Likewise, use some acne soap on your feet. It is a special soap that is anti bacteria and helps to fight with body toxins.
- If the above tips don't help with your foot odor problem, see your family physician or a podiatrist, who may prescribe a solution of aluminum chloride hexahydrate.
