I'd certainly give up on the Ativan as the sleepiness it causes is known to wear off after a couple of weeks. Same with the other benzo's.
However, if it's anxiety keeping you awake, you might consider talking to your doc about switching to Klonopin, which is more sedating, and a larger dose of it. It doesn't make me sleepy but it does relax me. I take 1 mg at night. I believe 1 mg of Klonopin is roughly equal to 2 mg of Ativan in effectivenenss.
