Alpha in the Morning- when and for how long exactly?

Hi ALL

Okay all/most self-help/visualisation etc talks about how programming is to be done in the Morning, and that this is the alpha brainwave time. They usually say its when you wake up...

Now when I wake up or open my eyes i tend to fall back to sleep, is this alpha? When i finally do wake up my heads groggy/eyes tired but im in a rush to get out and off, is this alpha? Or sometimes my body may feel rested but i am still so sleepy that i can not even know what day it is and fall back to sleep again.

I have read that when we are awake we are in the Beta brainwave state so this isnt alpha and to me being awake usually means when im out out of bed, so when is alpha exactly and for how long does it last before you get to beta?

how do you know you are in Beta?

I hope this query helps others and that many can related to this

Also my plan of action was to actually wake, get out of bed, sit on my chair in my bedroom, then to slowly affirm and visualise my goal, but im now thinking once im out of bed is that me actually now in beta?

Please can someone make sense of all the above for me and others?

thank you

James
