Hospitals would have problems unless prepared for it.

Just 24 hours? Yeah almost nothing would change for the average person. Depending on the time of year some people might need some extra blankets but that's about it.

Power stations would have a nightmare when things came back online though. Look up a grid black start if you're ever curious.

I feel like most people would be fine, but a lot of internet addicts would go crazy.

Not much. I remember 20 or so years ago when the power in Eastern America went down for something like 3 or 4 days. The gas stations had a hard time because of all the people who wanted cigarettes, and it was very hard to find food.
