I believe the driving force behind time standardization was the railroads, who needed it for obvious reasons--they connected all the local zones and couldn't change their schedules for everybackwater's neighborhood opinion.
As for DST, I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense. After all, if you want to sleep another hour, why not just get up at 5:30 instead of 4:30?
