Melatonin, up to 10mg is safe for sleep. Cut back amount as you sleep better. Tylenol PM works too.

are they 1 mg ativan?  if so then 1/4 of a pill as needed thru the day should be enuf unless u have a tolernce to benzos...1 a day/at amx 2 should work for u...i had valium which is weaker than ativan and it used 3 pills that week..i had 10 mg valium and cut them into quarters...i did not use them for sleep tho....benzos are not designed for sleep but for anxiety..it would be best to use something designed for sleep that first week if u can
