As you’d expect, setting the alarm in Windows is relatively easy. You don’t need to download any third-party software as well. We’ll be setting up an alarm with a ten-minute snooze interval which will keep going until you disable the alarm.
Step 1: Press the Windows key and search for Alarms. Then, click on the corresponding search result.
Step 2: Head over to the Alarm tab and click on Add an alarm.
Step 3: Set the alarm time, name, the days you want it to ring, the alarm tone and the snooze timer for around ten minutes. This way, your alarm will keep going on in snooze intervals of ten minutes until you get up and turn off the alarm.
And that’s it; you’re good to go. Do keep in mind, though, that while you may hear the alarm, you’ll not see any notifications while your PC is sleeping.
If you’re using iPhone or Android smartphone and tablet, you can use the snooze feature to set the alarm for 10 minutes.
