Alpha Wave

is a particular brainwave emitted in the relaxed phase of human's brain. Relaxed awareness is said to be the state when our brain could learn optimally. Alpha brainwave will be reduced with increasing awareness and drowsiness. Thus alpha state is usually experienced just before and after sleep, and during relaxation activities, like meditation and while taking a stress-relaxing, hot shower.

That explains a lot, does it?

Oh, and there are other types of brainwaves, such as Beta (awake state), Delta (sleepy/restful state) and others, but Alpha has always been my favorite. Too bad there is no Omega, though. It's my favorite greek letter. owo
