In Buddhism waking up before sunrise is seen as offering a number of benefits.

The early hours of the day are believed to be ideal for meditative practices, and witnessing the sunrise is symbolic of a Buddhist's desired journey from darkness and ignorance to enlightenment.

On certain special occasions like New Year, some Buddhists will try to climb to the highest point they can near where they live so they can greet the sunrise.
