Categories that encourage activating less common modes/bands (e.g. 160M
single-band category) are a very very good thing. These make sure that
there's always something to be worked even on the not-most-popular bands.

This is precisely why a 24 hour category should be 24 consecutive hours, not 24 randomly chosen hours.

I'm sorry, but if you have issues that might endanger your health by going 24 consecutive hours, then perhaps you would be well advised to stick with shorter contests, such as NAQP, CWT, Florida QSO Party, Sprint, or single-band efforts in major contests.
