Does the Dalai Lama really get up at 3:30 AM? Is this because of the massive Chinese time zone?

The Dalai Lama -- and the Tibetan government in exile -- are in Dharamsala, India which is GMT + 5 1/2. He hasn't set foot in Tibet since his exile in 1959.

EDIT: If he were in Lhasa, the sunrise today was at 6:55 AM so he'd be up almost 3.5 hours before sunrise. In Dharamsala the sun rises at 5:17 AM, so he gets up only 1:45 before sunrise.
