Dr Laura Boubert is a Principal Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Westminster, where she is part of the Centre for Psychological Sciences and leads the MSc in Applied Cognitive Neuroscience. Her work covers cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and neurodiversity, with particular interests in attention, memory and how brain function relates to everyday behaviour, and her research interests include sleep and cognitive ageing. She has written for The Conversation on whether sleeping in separate beds could improve your health. She answered our questions in November 2026 on what helps restless sleepers beyond the mattress, why some people sleep more lightly than others, and when to see a GP about poor sleep. Her staff profile is on the University of Westminster website.
