cannot scroll to the top from down until it reaches the top of the page using Selenium Python

Question

I have a page which scrolls from the bottom (the latest feeds) to the top (the older feeds). I am trying to get Selenium to scroll all the way to the top so I can get all the information. Currently, I am using this for testing and it worked, but I have to give specific number of loops to make it work. Problem is that numbers vary so I am looking for a way where it stops when it scrolls all the way to the top.

This is working but not reusable solution.

number_of_loops = 1

while number_of_loops != 10:
    html = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME,'html')
    html.send_keys(Keys.PAGE_UP)
    time.sleep(1)
    print("Number of Loops:",number_of_loops)
    number_of_loops += 1

I tried this but it did not scroll at all. I think it was in a constant loop but again nothing happened.

while True:
    html = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME,'html')
    html.send_keys(Keys.PAGE_UP)
    time.sleep(1)

I tried some of these solutions but nothing worked so far for me.
