24, the Real Life Edition

The TV show 24 has come up in a couple of conversations recently, which got me thinking. What would the Reality Show 24 look like? I'll model it on my own very exciting life, naturally.

Midnight - 1:00 am, Monday June 13:
Dale and Elaine asleep in the bed. Slight sounds of snoring from both individuals. The cats are prowling. Pipsqueak goes to the litterbox and digs for about 10 minutes. Duchess is curled up in a ball next to Dale. Shadow sleeps at Elaine's feet.
1:01 - 2:00 am: Elaine slowly lurches out of bed. Night vision camera shows very messy hair. She stumbles into the bathroom and returns in a couple of minutes. Dale moves away from Duchess. Duchess moves next to him again. Shadow goes into the kitchen and makes French toast. He hisses at Duchess when she appears to eat some. Then he serves some to Pipsqueak.
2:01 - 3:00 am: Duchess cleans up Shadow's mess and picks the back door lock. She grills a t-bone steak and eats it by herself. Dale and Elaine snore.
3:01 - 4:00 am: Everyone sleeps.
4:01 - 5:00 am: Elaine goes to the bathroom again. Shadow creeps up the bed when she returns and she pets him.
5:01 - 6:00 am: Everyone sleeps
6:01 - 7:00 am: Dale gets up and gets ready for work. Elaine sleeps. The cats begin to annoy her in an effort to get breakfast.
7:01 - 8:00 am: Elaine gets up and feeds the cats. She eats breakfast.
8:01 - 9:00 am: What? I've fallen asleep. I've got a whole season of this to write?
