How to put PM BEFORE AM

[louisEht]

Hey guys,

 I'm about to finish my psychology thesis but something bugs me off.

In some part of the thesis, i analyze the time period which the subjects go to bed at. 

The problem : My graph does not understand that a 11PM bedtime is BEFORE a 01AM bedtime.

Excel reads my data by stating that in one day, 11PM would be after 01AM. Which is true.

But in my case, 11PM is BEFORE  01AM because there is 2 seperate days going on. 

Can you please help me ?

This shows an additional data column with the 1 added to the early morning dates

Then a default line chart might become

I didn't save the file because it used the 365 RANDARRAY function that you may not have.  I retrieved the unsaved file and substituted hard values in place of randomly generated data.
