    You have to call, "Alexa! Stop alarm!", or "Alexa, alarm off!" This will turn the alarm off. If you can't say this, then just turn the sound all the way off. Another thing you could do is ask it another command. This will automatically turn off the alarm and you can do something else at the same time!

    It will ring for quite a long time. Actually, it will keep on ringing until you tell it to stop.

    Ask Alexa to set a reminder to the time your alarm is set. Tell her what you want to be reminded and she will have a small alarm at the time you asked for.

    Ask Alexa to set a reminder. She'll ask you the time you want the reminder and tell her the time your alarm goes off. Then tell her what you need reminded.

    Go to your Alexa app, and go to "settings." Then turn off "Snooze." Are you asking how to "snooze" the alarm? If so, hold your forefinger and middle finger together and firmly tap anywhere on the lighted part of the alarm. You may have to tap twice. That will "snooze" the alarm for 9 minutes.
