Alexandra Gainsbourg
Journalist
Education
- Institution: Tallinn University
- Faculty: Journalism
- Graduation Year: 2014
Professional Journey
- Now aged 36, I have spent over a decade reporting on culture, science, and wellness for regional and international media outlets.
- I believe that stories about the human body and mind deserve the same investigative rigor traditionally reserved for politics and economics.
Current Role at Somnorium
- Position: Part-time Journalist
- At Somnorium I craft in-depth articles on sleep quality and the psychology of dreams, translating academic research into narratives that resonate with a global readership.
- My features blend interviews with neuroscientists, data from sleep laboratories, and relatable anecdotes to illuminate the universal yet mysterious realm of dreaming.
Writing Focus
- Circadian rhythm science, lucid-dream induction, and the cultural symbolism embedded in nocturnal imagery.
- Advocacy for evidence-based wellbeing practices, encouraging readers to integrate healthier sleep habits into daily life.
Additional Endeavors
- I mentor junior journalists in data-driven storytelling and ethical reporting.
- I champion open-access science, arguing that democratizing research on sleep can improve public health outcomes.
- I’m currently researching how pre-bedtime media consumption influences dream vividness, aiming to publish findings in both academic and popular formats.
