Alexa has great built-in time features. You can use it to check the time, where you currently are… or anywhere else. You can set timers for cooking, and set wake-up alarms. There are even a secret set of celebrity voices that can wake you up in the morning.

Waking up to music
You can wake up to music from your preferred sreaming service, including iHeartRadio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Spotify, and TuneIn, as well as Amazon’s own Music Unlimited and Prime Music.
Examples:
Alexa, wake me up to music at 6am. (This example will wake you up once, to a random song. To make it a regular alarm, add “every day” to the request.)
(by genre) Alexa, wake me up to exercise music every day at 6am.
(by artist or title) Alexa, wake me up to Americano, by Lady Gaga, at 7am.
(by playlist) Alexa, wake me up to (playlist name) at 6am.

How to use Alexa’s secret celebrity alarm clocks 
Instead of waking up to a ringing or beeping alarm, you can wake up to celebrity voices! These are tucked away deep in the Alexa app.
Open up the Alexa app, select Settings, then select the Alexa device you want to use as an alarm. Tap on “Sounds”, then “Alarm”, then choose “Celebrity” (at the top, above the other alarms.) At the time of this writing you have these celebs to choose from: Alec Baldwin, Missy Elliott, Dan Marino, Jason Schwartzman, actors from the movie Sharknado, the TV series 24: Legacy, or the hosts of the TV show ‘Grand Tour’.
