Cortisol.. supposed to go up and down during day and night..
for some reason you aren't getting your afternoon peak and have stacks at midnight. If valid you should be wide awake at midnight? You really have to match this test to your sleep patterns for it to have any meaning.. so when do you sleep?Morning looks OK.. just a bit over, noon is fine.. now if you usually sleep in the day and work night shift?
