Solution

The saddle contributes the full Gaussian

e^{i x} \int_{- \infty}^{\infty} e^{- x s^{2} /2} d s = 2 π, x^{- 1/2} e^{i x} .

Thus $α = 2 π$ . Since the phase is exactly quadratic, there are no further algebraic saddle terms; the next contribution is the endpoint term $O (x^{- 1} e^{- 3 x /2})$ .
