Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I only use this calendar to keep track of birthdays I care about, and I hate to be woken up by a birthday notification at midnight.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding a default notification time at 8 AM, possibly giving a choice for the user to set a custom notification time.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Completely disabling the birthday notifications, with the risk of missing birthdays.

Thanks by advance
