Disable or add to new timer function in IOS 27

How do I bypass the, useless to me, new timer function in ios 27? I’m very frustrated about it. As my wake up schedule is ever changing due to work, I use it as a reminder for conflicting medication and supplements. When I’m half asleep I now have to fumble around to get to the screen I’m looking for. It would be nice if Apple gave us the option to turn this new feature off or add my set 12 hour timer to that screen. Or better yet a button for that timer in the control center.

If you feel Apple needs to change or add functionality to the timer, this isn't the place to suggest it. This is totally a user to user only forum, which Apple neither participates nor reads for user feedback.
