In the Clock app 
, you can set alarms for any time of day and have them repeat on one or more days of the week.
Siri: Say something like: “Set an alarm for 7 a.m.” Learn how to use Siri.
Note: You can also set up a wake up alarm as part of a full sleep schedule (including bedtimes, wake up times, and more) in the Health app. If you don’t want to set up a sleep schedule, you can set a regular alarm in Clock for the time you want to wake up.

Snooze: Turn on to give yourself a few more minutes of sleep.
To make changes to your sleep schedule that extend beyond your next wake up alarm, tap Edit Sleep Schedule in Health. (See Add or change sleep schedules in Health on iPhone.)

You can turn off the next wake up alarm in your sleep schedule, or you can turn off all wake up alarms for a sleep schedule.
Tap Alarm, then tap Change.
Scroll down to Alarm Options, then turn off Alarm.
Tap Done, then choose one of the following:
