Try melatonin.
It's not a drug, and has no side effects.
You can get it at any vitamin store.

Have you tried a fifth of vodka?
Chloroform soaked pillow?
Iron frypan to the temple?

Adobe Digital Editions is worst flipping screen viewer EVER.
it's a crap shoot whether it will display correctly.
For example I have an epub which I just made.
It validates with epubcheck, and converts without error via kindlegen.
It views perfect in Calibre, Sigil, iPad, Kindle Previewer, and of course Dreamweaver.

Open it in Digital Editions, and I get unstyled text. this program is an absolut disgrace and should never have been released untested...

I don't care if it's free software and therefore why should they????.

Adobe, get of your rear ends and update this pile of drivel, so that it displays consistently, oh and while you at it...support smallcaps you bunch of female dogs....

Have you tried Valerian? You can get it at any good Health shop or chemist(pharmacy). It's a herbal relaxer.

Just a thought.

Cheers.

Valerian gave me awful indigestion. doxylamine is the only thing that works for me without drugging me out. Alcohol good for a couple of hours, but wake up in the middle of the night unable to get back to sleep.

This usually means that you have a typo in your CSS. Many other programs are tolerant of problems in the CSS, ADE just stops reading the CSS at the first problem.

This is actually a good thing. It means you have to have a correctly formed CSS file for it to work with ADE, which means it's much more likely to work consistently across all renderers.

After all, if there is an error in your CSS file, you can't be sure what different renderers will do with it.

[But I do agree about the smallcaps. And then there's the pseudo-elements and classes.]

Ooooo... thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. At least I know now where to start looking *sigh*

valerian and melatonin are simply no-goes. the knee injury simply will not allow me more than "x" amount of sleep. usually a max of 4 hours. sometimes I can get up and diddle around and get back to sleep for awhile, other times its why bother?

Insomnia's a bitch.
And most of the recommended solutions suck.
