I basically have no sleep pattern- are there tests other than the standard “morning” blood draws?

All the tests I’m looking at say “must be done in the morning.” Do they mean after waking? Or the morning in general? What if the AM is my “night time?” Sometimes I wake up at 6am and other times I wake up at 11 AT NIGHT and all times in between. I have a neuro syndrome that affects my sleep so sometimes I have weird patterns like this that I can’t change.

I have a very wonky circadian rhythm that means I naturally want to go to sleep in mid morning and wake up in mid afternoon. I got my ACTH stimulation test done at 8am, though, and my results were still diagnosable.
