I despise the fact that I have to turn on the Sleep function just to set an alarm!

I travel for work and just want to set a wakeup alarm at a hotel. I don't want the alarm going off when I am at home and my sleep schedule can vary. Is there a way to use the alarm function WITHOUT turning on the sleep function? I'm sure I could add another app, but that seems silly to chew up memory to patch something that should have already been native. I've always had Android, and just switched to iPhone. So far, I'm missing my Android!
