Good grief, ALL DAY?!!
I can't imagine how inconvenient that must be for people with small babies, old persons on oxygen, late night workers who sleep daytime with a CPAP machine, those who only can do certain electric-requiring chores on that particular day, at-home businesses, and hospitals. I've never heard of such a thing here in the US.
I hope you are at a time of year where the weather temperatures are cooperative for comfort, at least!
Jan in VA, where I'm thankful for air conditioning today.
