Hello ,I am Dr.Sadaf and i just read your serum cholesterol and triglycerides results.
According to me your cholesterol and triglycerides are both on the higher side and i advice a lifestyle modification technique for you.

1-Try to reduce saturated and trans-fats like red meat, butter in your diet.
2-Incorporate 5-8 servings of fruits and vegetables.
3-Try to walk 30 minutes moderate intensity 5 times a week.

As for the reduced sleep timing-
I advice-
1-Cut down on caffeinated drinks 3 hours prior to bedtime.
2-Try to eat your meals which should be a light meal 3 hours prior to bedtime.
3-Make this a daily ritual.
4-avoid using all electronic devices 1 hour before bedtime.
5-Make your bedroom strictly a place for sleeping so your body knows its time to sleep.
6-Exercising in the morning or late afternoon might help but not in the evening as it increases your adrenaline levels causes you to be more alert and sleep late.
7-Try reading a book at night in your bed before sleeping.

I hope i have proved to be of some help.
