That's hard to achieve ... maybe you have to create a table with
contiguous periods. Somewhere i have found this code-snippet:

test=*# select * from t1;
a
----
1
2
3
4
6
7
8
10
11
12
13
(11 rows)

test=*# WITH RECURSIVE RecCols (LeftBoundary, Value) AS
(SELECT a, a FROM t1 WHERE (a - 1) NOT IN (SELECT a FROM t1)
UNION ALL SELECT p.LeftBoundary, c.a FROM RecCols AS p, t1 AS c WHERE c.a = p.Value + 1)
SELECT LeftBoundary, MAX(Value) AS RightBoundary FROM RecCols
GROUP BY LeftBoundary
ORDER BY LeftBoundary;
leftboundary | rightboundary
--------------+---------------
1 | 4
6 | 8
10 | 13
(3 rows)

Maybe that's the way you have to go ...
