I have done this in the past, but decided to specifically add this to my goals to actually pay attention to the sunrise. At this time of year, this is pretty easy to do in Finland – for example tomorrow (Dec 5) sun rises in Helsinki at 9:04. Both dawn and dusk in Finland tend to be pretty drawn out affairs, unlike closer to the the equator, where watching sun pop up or down is a quick affair.
Of course, this is impossible to do at some points of the year, if you go far enough north – sun either just stays up or never rises.
