You can say “Alexa, snooze for 5 minutes!”

If you use Alexa’s alarm feature, you probably have already figured out that after your alarm sounds, you can say “Alexa, snooze,” and she’ll give you an extra 9 minutes before the alarm sounds again.

If you don’t want 9 minutes, you can say, “Alexa, snooze for 5 minutes” (or whatever amount of time you want) and she’ll adjust.

Pro Tip: You can say “Alexa, repeat snooze” as many times as you’d like before your day begins.

Fun Fact: Why the 9 minutes default snooze time? That actually harkens back to the days of analog alarm clocks, when it was difficult to set the gears for exactly 10 minutes, so they adjusted to a universal 9-minute standard.
