If you watch for the time of moonrise during the monthly cycle, you will see that it rises later and later each day. By the time it gets to the waning crescent, it doesn't rise until the small hours of the morning, when you are probably in bed. However, if the sky is clear you may well be able to see it in the western sky after sunrise, as it doesn't set until afternoon.http://www.moonstick.com/moonriseset.htm
