What Is The Best Method To Take Ativan?

I have been prescribed Ativan 0.5mg to 1.0mg at night as a sleep aid. What is the best method to take this? Right before I go to sleep or 30 minutes to an hour beforehand? Also can I take 0.5mg before bed and another 0.5mg if I wake up in the middle of the night. I currently have problems waking up after 3-4 hrs of sleep and not being able to get back to sleep.
