Are both OK? If there were 25 hours in a day, I could sleep for one more hour. If there should be 25 hours in a day, I could sleep for one more hour. The second sentence sounds strange or wrong? Thank you.

The firat is good. The second is not. Should is a recommendation and not really an unreal situation.

Hey! I think the first sentence sounds good and the second one maybe a bit odd.

The second sentence, as it's written, would not be correct. However, with some modifying, it could be. For instance: "If there should be 25 hours in a day, then there also should be an extra hour for sleep." While this may not be the most natural sounding sentence, it's grammatically and logically correct. I hope this helps =)
