This query will return the number of minutes past midnight.

declare @now datetime = getdate()
declare @midnight datetime = CAST( FLOOR( CAST( @now AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME )

The code

CAST( FLOOR( CAST( "yourDateTimeHere" AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME )

converts any datetime to midnight. Use the datediff with the "mi" function to get the number of minutes past midnight.
