Since reporting this I've read the design guidelines. I note that the
"turn off" button is on the right and green, and the "snooze" button is
on the left and white.

I suggest that maybe this is backwards. Turning off the alarm is
essentially deleting this instances of it and is potentially dangerous,
and so perhaps should be red and on the left? The "safe" action is to
snooze, so that should be default, green and on the right.

However, even with that change (if you or design team agree - I admit it
is subjective), the off button would still be too easy to hit, so I
still think something further needs to be done to avoid user accidents.

Title:
  [Clock] Too easy to accidentally turn off the alarm instead of
  snoozing

Bug description:
  While half asleep and when I want to snooze, it's too easy to hit the
  wrong button and accidentally turn off the alarm instead of activating
  the snooze option.

  I expect the snooze button to be more easily available, and for the
  "turn off" button to be made harder to activate - for example with a
  slide or something.

  Other phones I've had have had the snooze button much bigger, or the
  snooze activate when the phone is turned over, or something like that,
  to assist with preventing accidental alarm switch off.
