a short nap


Explanation:
After it has rudely awakened you from your dreams, and you don't want to get up immediately, set the "snooze" button and the alarm will ring again in 15 minutes or so, depending on how you set it.

snooze button


Explanation:
snooze button = a button on an alarm clock (= a clock for waking you up) that you press after it has woken you up, so that you can sleep for a few minutes more before being woken up again by the clock

I think \'set\' means (pre)program here. I guess \'snooze alarm mode\' is one of the modes you can choose. I suppose perhaps you can set it either \'on\' or \'off\' perhaps, and, if it is on, perhaps the timing, the number of times it goes off, etc...
