What will happen if I keep my arduino on for 24 hours?
I have several home-brUnos and a genuine Mega 2560 that are now, or have, run 24/7 for periods of weeks to months, powered by either a USB port or a USB-type wall charger. All of them supported (or still do) a string of 2 or 3 DS18b20 digital thermo sensors and a WiFi or Bluetooth radio. None of them slept during those jobs and they all still live and continue work as well as they always have.
