In Anchorage, Alaska. The sun will rise really early in the summer (about 2.20AM) and will set at about 11.15PM, althought it never really gets "dark" during the night. In the north of Alaska the sun is up all day and "night" and they get the midnight sun.

In the winter in Alaska, the sun rises later in the morning compared to other times of the year. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its position in relation to the sun during that time. Typically, in places like Alaska, the sun rises around late morning or early afternoon during the winter months.
