It's normal for pH to drop overnight. I wouldn't worry about it. Your pH swing isn't bad at all.
Edit: I read your times wrong. Still not much of a swing to worry about.

Mine drops this low at night sometimes and never hurts anything as long as your ALK, CA are in check and you are measuring a respectable pH at about the same time everyday you should not concern yourself with it.
It looks like your pH peaks at about 4:00pm, this is where you should consistently be checking your pH. I would only be concerned if you see significant drops at this time.

Looks yo me like your pH overall is too low. I used to get 8.4-8.8 with the api high range pH kit.
I would add more macro algae to more fully consume the carbon dioxide in the water.
To help reduce the nightly drop I added baking soda to raise KH.
