Scheduling 24h work days will inevitably cause "life to get in the way of work". On-calls commonly take a week or two at a time. Stop de-legitimizing work-life seperation.

That said, if you're on an on-call shift, and something comes up, that's "life getting in the way". And that's fine.
I have separate issues, personally, with how many companies compensate employees for on-call work. But it is an on-call shift, a concept that exists in basically every industry where you're providing a timely service. (plumbers, airline pilots, systems administration...)
Unless you're large enough to implement follow-the-sun, you're going to need someone to cover the evenings.
