I'm just thinking that this is a massive undertaking; and for most people in the world it doesn't really matter. I just visited the Philippines; where there are 100 million people who have no concept of time zone. Not because they are dumb, but because they have never had to adjust the time. And they can't be the only country like that; where people don't have the means to travel outside their time zone.
Nevermind the whole point of our bodies being tied to what the sun does. Under your proposal, some places in the world would be sleeping the entire time that we have daylight. Another factor; the reason we don't stay with DST all year long is so that our kids have daylight both coming and going to school.
Neat idea; but all sorts of complications.

That happens now, I can't change the sun.
Kids would still get daylight, nothing changes.
