You need to actually shift the clocks if you want a time system where schedules are consistent and you typically wake up at about sunrise. (I realize this greatly depends on latitude and location within timezone, but shifting the clocks gets a lot closer overall than any fixed time offset would.) The big downside to keeping summer time in the winter is that in northern areas it will be dark for a lot of the morning, when there are sleepy drivers who just woke up and kids walking to school. That's probably a bigger safety issue than the sleep issues caused by the time shift. I'm generally against shifting the clocks, but the problem it's solving isn't an easy one.
