Does this look like non 24?

Hello :) Apologies in advance if I give more information than necessary! So I've had sleep issues for as long as I can remember. For the past few years, whenever I tried explaining it to someone, I'd say that my sleep moves forward a little bit each night and I can't stop it. That was before I knew about non 24, so when I discovered it a couple weeks ago I was kinda freaked out how well it fit me lol.

I hadn't taken a proper sleep log before so I started the same day. I know I had sleep issues in school but from what I remember they weren't quite like it is now, I think I just slept pretty late and it was absolutely impossible to get me up in the morning for school. Not super sure though, my memory is awful. I don't currently work or attend uni/college so I have been what I suspect is free-running for years now without really knowing what it was.

However, I live a very sedentary life at the moment. I don't really leave the house, I didn't often open the blinds in the daytime until pretty recently (I live on the ground floor, it feels super invasive that people can just see into my flat.) I also use my phone before bed. I'm just curious if it's possible for my sleep to look like this purely because of bad sleeping habits? I don't wanna jump to conclusions.

(Also, the past week-ish is a mess because I'm going to a concert tomorrow and have been desperately trying and failing to fix my sleep in time. Just know the most recent days aren't natural for me! And if anyone has any tips for dealing with nausea from sleep deprivation please omg I feel so ill right now)
