Sounds like it makes sense, but nope.

Currently winter is "normal time", and wasn't changed when DST was created.

DST just pushes the day later in summer. If you woke up at sunrise on the winter equinox, that means you woke up awhile after sunrise on the summer equinox, so I guess we are "saving that wasted sunlight" by waking up an hour early in the summer.
