More than 5 non-working times

Hello,

I'm trying to generate a gantt chart with more than 5 non-workin
times. (essentially a 24-hour day with a 1-hour break every 4 hours).
MS Project only allows me to define 5 periods of "working times."
Anyone know how to create more

I do not believe that you can create more.
Is it that important to preserve the exact break times? You could create
resource calendars for each shift and apply them to the resource working on
each period or something similar for tasks. But it might just be easier to
group the breaks together.

Do you resources actually work that sort of pattern - not as an aggregate
but each single resource viewed individually. The pattern you are
attempting to create suggests that the people working on your project never
get to sleep or have any other time off, just a meal break every 4 hours,
going on for day after day after day. Is that really what your resources
do?
