Alright Google, how is a radio input a good choice for a range of times

I want a roulette option. When I have a nine minute snooze and I know it, I'm just tired and anxious waiting for it. If I don't know how long it's going to be I won't stress over it. Go back to sleep and hope for the best. Set a 25min max so I can still panic shower my way into being on time.
- You could also set your alarm 25 minutes later (or whenever you need to) and waking up at that time without snoozing it. The sleep quality would probably be even a lot better than the one from the snoozeroulette. Snoozing just makes you wake-up earlier than you should.
  
  Snoozing is never a good choice by plan, I agree. It's a special weapon against the tyranny of the alarm that gives the brief illusion of winning. Its to be used sparingly of course, but it's all we've got.
What app?
- I'm guessing Clock
  
  Mine isn't like that. Google clock on pixel 7 Pro.
  
  Edit: mines like that. It's the snooze time you set in settings that apply to all alarms.
  
  Honestly makes sense to do it this way. Pick your exact time limited to 30 minutes. Set it once and forget it.
  
  Op is just farming for outrage.
My old workplace's timecard system used dropdowns for hours and minutes for every day. Took like 10 minutes to fill out for the week. It was awful.
- Couldn't you just tab write_number tab write_number?
  
  Like you could do here
That should be a slider pop-up, like this:

Probably best to widen it for better control.

I built this myself, and this stuff is already built into Android.
Definitely not the BEST design but it could be way worse. They could be check boxes.
How far can you scroll down? What’s their max?
- The max is 30 minutes.
  
  Who could possibly want to set a timer longer than that?
