Hypnogram is a form of polysomnography that shows just the sleep stages? Looks like you were wide awake just before 1:00AM to a bit after 2:00AM? Other than that I not sure how good or bad the chart is showing. No training or opinion.

lol. I know what a hypnogram is, I meant has anyone seen results like this before, so square. I'm jumping right from wake to N2 and back out.

Yeah, 1-2 was when the tech kept coming back in and out to fix the equipment. 6 times in 30 mins.

I am not so sure you know what a hypnogram is. If you did, you would realize the nature of the scale makes them all "square". See https://www.google.com/search?q=hypnogr ... 24&bih=631

You will not get curves with that scale. For examples, there is no point where you are between stages 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 or etc.
