morning alarm 5 minute increment

Is there literally no way now to set your sleep alarm to anything other than a number in 5 minute increments? I know it’s a bit first world problems but I seem to remember at one stage having the flexibility to choose any time you wanted at some point. It seems strange to just not have that as an option.

Using alarms within the “Sleep” function

is only in the 5m increments as you’ve discovered.


However, the plain ol’ “Alarm” works in 1m increments w/ far less “button pushing” than using the “Sleep Function.”


IMO “Plain Alarm” is FAR easier use - and less prone to making errors - for those who need wake-up alarms on irregular or varying schedules.
