There's really no way you can 100% prevent this kind of thing.

You could make the aircraft autonomous.

DST is not a bad idea. Who the hell is going to wake up at 4:00 a.m. in June?

Given I currently wake up at 5:00 am standard time in June, that's the same as waking up at 4:00 am daylight 'savings' time. But instead of being forced into doing it in one big shock, I could work my wake up time slowly earlier, as the sun starts coming up earlier.
