Google Calendar Adds Snooze

Every morning when I wake up, I snooze the alarm clock about 3-4 times, to buzz me again. The snooze function basically shuts down the alarm for a few minutes and starts buzzing again after 5 minutes.
If you add calendar events in Google Calendar [1] or Outlook and have them open, you will get notifications about upcoming events. Outlook provides you with an option to Snooze the event and remind you after a certain time limit.
According to Google OS [2], Google Calendar has added a similar feature [3], where users can choose to be reminded again about a event after 5 minutes. To make use of this feature, you will have to have the Google Calendar webpage open in your web browser.
You can always chose to receive SMS alerts for your events [4], and even sync Google Calendar events with Outlook [5]. If you are using Google Chrome [6], you might also want to checkout a Google Chrome extension [7], which allows you to setup a alarm inside the browser [8].
