With people mostly using clocks which don't need adjusting, we could have the best of both worlds.

Currently, 12 o'clock is defined as the sun being at its highest point at a specific location (in winter, standard time)

Imagine you take the same reference location, and define sunrise as 7:00 (am). No health issues, no sudden changes, and probably best for the biorhythm.
