Alarm only available once per day
Why can I only use my alarm once a day? Sometimes I would like to set it for a nap, but it won’t allow me to set it for anything other than tomorrow.

I think you are using the wrong alarm function.
There is an alarm function which is linked to the Health app, which tracks sleep and helps with a better sleep rhythm. It is the one called Sleep / Wake Up inside the Clock app. You should NOT use it for a quick nap.
To set an alarm:
1. Open Clock app
2. Tap "Alarm" at the bottom menu.
3. Tap "+" in the upper right corner
4. Set the Alarm to the desired time and tap Save.
You can add as many alarms as you want, and activate and deactivate the ones you want to be active.

Everything you say is correct, except I don’t care that much about tracking my sleep, I have a Fitbit that I use for that, the most important thing to me is the sound of the alarm that awakens me and my favorite sound , unfortunately, is in the sleep Section. Oh well. Thanks for your answer!
Open the Clock app, tap Alarm at the bottom of the screen, tap the + sign at the top right of the screen, set the time for the alarm today and tap Save at the top right of the screen.
You're welcome.
