Sleep help for Dover residents
Shift work, long commutes and stress are common reasons Dover patients sleep poorly. For healthcare staff, manufacturing workers and commuters to Portsmouth and the Pease Tradeport, we plan treatment around real schedules rather than ideal ones. Dover sits close to the Maine line, and some residents work across the border.
Living in Dover
Dover's mix of historic mill buildings, a growing downtown and family neighborhoods attracts people who work across the Seacoast. Many residents commute to Portsmouth or toward Boston, and some work in Maine. Video visits are a natural fit, as long as the visit happens while you are in New Hampshire.
Finding the cause
Your psychiatrist reviews sleep timing, caffeine and alcohol, screens, work schedule, medications, pain and mood. A two-week sleep diary before the visit is very helpful.
Getting care from Dover
From Dover, our Salem office is about 50 minutes to an hour by car. Many Dover patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Is melatonin safe?
It can help some people. Ask your psychiatrist about dose and timing.
Do you do sleep studies?
No, we refer to sleep medicine specialists when needed.
Can visits be by video?
Yes, when you are in New Hampshire.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Maine?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
