Gaining personal perfection is the goal of all enlightened souls, or 'humans' if you perfer, and by walking the path of selfguidence to obtain ones personal perfection such measures are often required. The reflection of outside interferences is one steppin stone to the path, I am most interested in your idea of this -sit-. I believe not only will you gain patience, but you will find a lilttle bit of that intangible self located within your subconsious. For in all truth this is a self of self-deambulance, guidence, and learning on the personal level. Sitting there, on the bench, remember this while you are in meditation: "once inside the mind, releasing the true essence is difficult. but after this simple step; reality is achieved." looking forward to reading about your adventure. ~Lawrence. ‘To remember the essential, and to forget the non-essential.’

I would choose one where people might congregate, like by a bus stop. This might generate interesting conversations. How do you plan to stay awake? Could you get up at all? Just remember to bring a seat cushion and box of chocolates. You should definitely try this, and pick a good bench. I would choose one where people might congregate, like by a bus stop.

For example, observe the same bench for two days from 5am - 10am, and for two days from 4pm - 9pm. Then do a 24 hour period. This would give you a base off of which you can make your observations meaningful. Not to mention it would give you a feel for what you are going to be up against for your full 24-hour period. The times are just pulled from the top of my head and are up to your discretion. One question does come to mind; do you plan to hold your bodily functions for 24 hours? If not I suggest you find a bench near a rest room. I wonder if this should not be done in stages. For example, observe the same bench for two days from 5am – 10am, and for two days from 4pm – 9pm.
