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.
