You’re also able to ask for the time so you don’t have to look over at your iDevice and say “Flashlight” to see in the dark. If you’re the kind of person that mashes that snooze button you can set a “I have to get up by” time, which disables the snooze and plays a diabolically annoying sound to ensure you get up.
