Is there a way to prevent a host check in a give time period?

Why is there a "check_period" directive for service definitions, but not for host definitions? Here is the reason I ask. We have a particular server which doesn't need to have ANY host or service checks / notifications during a 1 hour period any day of the week. I easily created this time period in the timeperiods.cfg file. I assigned this time period for all notification_period directives for the host and services of this particular server. I also assigned this time period to the check_period directive for the services. However, there is no such directive for hosts.
Where is the problem? Well service checks / notifications worked as expected during this 1 hour dead period. It didn't check anyting or notify anyone regarding services during this timeframe. However, it still did a host check during this period. It just didn't notify during this 1 hour dead time. Once this dead time was up, though, it proceeded to send out a host notification because it was queued up to do so--there was no way to tell it "don't check this host during this time period." As a result it went ahead and checked it and then queued up a notification for a later time (when notifications were re-enabled after the 1 hour dead time).
Unless there is some other way to accomplish this, I am stumped. The service checks and notifications are working as expected during this time perdiod on this server, but host checks are not (and as a result, it still sends out the notification--just not until after the dead time).
