How are you waiting for your (hopeful) email.

I think everyone is in the same boat. Well maybe not the 1.0 beta boat but the hopeful/nervous when they announce the invites being sent.

I'm playing video games and resuming normal life (which at the moment means sleep)!

Maybe the next wave of invites will look better, but I wouldn't expect them for another day or so. I wouldn't get your panties in a bunch over not getting in. It's just Alpha.

I think they would like people that quit the game early on, but signed up for alpha test this time to get a chance to see how they changed it in order to get more subscribers on release.

This. Remember that quiz you took to sign up for alpha? The one that asked you how much you played?

They're probably trying to get as wide a scope of the players as possible. Not just different ethnicities, but different time zones, player types, SE fans, Non-SE fans, etc etc. I would expect that those that got in first are a diverse bunch who lucked out on the RNG.

I just check it when I wake up, when I eat lunch, before I eat dinner, and before I go to bed same as with regular email checks
