You should not entrain more than an hour per day of anything, and that should be proken up into two 30-minute sessions at most. Even at an hour per day, you should not entrain more than 4 days weekly, unless you are using a special program that is designed for a specific purpose that requires it, and is designed by someone who knows what they're talking about so that it is safe to use.
Entraining your brain daily trains it to stay in states other than Beta. Beta is the predominant state an adult is supposed to be in during their time awake. If you train your brain to stay in alpha, theta or delta while you should be awake, you'll experience various issues that you should not experience as a result. I believe that a lot of the current ADD "epidemic" is due to the fact that people are training themselves to stay in Theta or Alpha all the time, with too much exposure to TV, movies, video games, etc., which all trigger those states of awareness.
My recommendation is to entrain alternate states for a half an hour, and then re-entrain Beta immediately afterwards for half an hour. While your brain will return to Beta on it's own, overtime, this will happen slower and slower, until it stops happening and you stay in an alternate state of awareness than you should be in all the time because you have trained it to stay in those alternate states. That is why you always should re-entrain Beta afterwards if you plan on using brainwave entrainment more often than a couple times a week.
Remember that you are not necessarily supposed to be in those alternate states all the time, which is why they don't happen spontaneously outside the sleep cycle.
