 Split off #27346:

 use at least 4 measurements that are at least 6 hours apart, because:
 * there is a daily cycle
 * each day contains 2 similar points in the cycle (it is an up and down
 cycle)
 * if all 4 measurements happen within a few hours, they will still be
 biased towards that point in the cycle
