Trust me I know it doesn't make sense.

Here is normal operation during the day. The white line is the indoor temperature. The blue block is the A/C running, the white is the fan.


Here it is running overnight. Runs all night and the temp increases to 78. Then it magically starts cooling again in the morning.



ETA: The only difference is at night the doors to the bedrooms are closed for my daughters.

This could be bad, no? Return air issue?

Be willing to bet a dime to a dollar this is your issue. Closing off those rooms(or individual registers) will starve your unit. Now, there may be an additional issue ie: coil leak, head pressure off, low on refrigerant, etc., but these are exacerbated by closing the doors.

Well isn't that a fancy little chart you've got there.

Perhaps AM and PM is reversed?

ETA - I would be shocked if the AC guy didn't check the Evap coils to see if they were dirty, as such a thing would make a lot of sense.

If he didnt, i would get a second opinion for sure.
