亚历山大出生于亚西亚，在君士坦丁堡接受教育。在完成学业之后，亚历山大到军队服役，职位为军官。在读了《圣经》之后，亚历山大明白了救世主的话：“你若愿意作完全人，可去变卖你所有的，分给穷人，就必有财宝在天上，你还要来跟从我”（玛特泰福音／太／玛19：21）。这些话语使亚历山大感受颇深，于是他马上变卖了他所拥有的财产，分给别人，自己隐退到了旷野中。亚历山大潜心修行，不断进行劳作，使自己纯正，在这之后他修建了无眠之人修道院，并制定了特殊的规矩：圣礼拜仪式在修道院中不间断地昼夜举行。众兄弟们被分成24个班，每个班都知道他们白日与昼夜的班次时间，从而他们去教堂中接续上一班接着进行咏唱。亚历山大到东部地区传讲福音身上不带任何东西，用基督信仰照亮那里的人们。亚历山大坚决同异端作斗争，出于上帝的恩典而行了许多奇迹，使侍奉主的工作得以壮大，最后于公元430年在君士坦丁堡去世，他的圣髑被安放在那里，拥有创造奇迹的大能和荣耀，上帝通过这来荣耀他的圣人。
