The idea isn't that everyone gets up at sunrise. People in equatorial regions would be the last people to care about this stuff. DST is not an issue there. People in more polar regions tend to not care that much about daylight in the winter. There is so little of it and it is so cold that it makes no difference. There is so much light in the summer that it makes little difference when you get up. People in polar regions might actually like a sort of anti-DST offset so they can get some darkness in the evening in the summer. It is people in the temperate latitudes that tend to care.
