I did 24hr-for-a-week oncall for 10+ years, do not recommend.

12-12 rotation in SRE is a lot more reasonable for humans

I agree. It sucks. And our schedule is actually 2 weeks in every five. One is secondary and the other is primary.

Unfortunately 24hr-for-a-week seems to be default everywhere nowdays, its just not practical for serious type businesses. It just an indicator of how important is the UPTIME for a company.
