Calendar alert hide with power button.

When the phone is locked and i receive an alert i dont understand why a firm press on the power button doesnt dim the display again amd hides or pauses the alert for say 5min.
@spiiroin thank you for the thorough explanation. If i understand you correctly you need to press the power once to snooze the alert and once to dim the display unless you want to wait until it automatically dims.
I didnt know the power button would snooze it. My thought was that with the Screen Lit up and the Alert Showing a single pressing of the power button would dim the display (amd snooze 5min).

Note that using "dim*" in this context is a bit confusing because it has distinct meaning in sfos jargon. The display has three states: "on", "dimmed", and "off". Power key toggles between "on" and "off" states. The "dimmed" state = when device is left idle with display on -> timer triggers -> display brightness is reduced noticeably = signifies "about to turn off display". If user then taps anywhere on screen -> display is brought back to "on" state, otherwise the display is turned "off" in few seconds.
