Well, here is my output..:

DT=# create table mytable (starttime time, stoptime time);
CREATE TABLE
DT=# insert into mytable values ('10:45', '22:30');
INSERT 20746 1
DT=# insert into mytable values ('19:45', '04:30');
INSERT 20747 1
DT=# insert into mytable values ('00:00', '00:00');
INSERT 20748 1
DT=# insert into mytable values ('23:59', '00:01');
INSERT 20749 1
DT=# insert into mytable values ('00:01', '23:59');
INSERT 20750 1
DT=# select starttime,stoptime,(case when stoptime-starttime >= 0 then
stoptime-starttime else stoptime-starttime+'24 hours' end) as timediff
from mytable;
 starttime | stoptime | timediff
-----------+----------+----------
 10:45:00  | 22:30:00 | 11:45
 19:45:00  | 04:30:00 | -15:15
 00:00:00  | 00:00:00 | 00:00
 23:59:00  | 00:01:00 | -23:58
 00:01:00  | 23:59:00 | 23:58
(5 rows)
