Help interpreting chart and improving numbers

Help interpreting chart and improving numbers
Hi everyone!

I've been using my Dream Station APAP for about 15 months and definitely see an improvement in my energy level, etc. I use a P10 nasal mask, have Flex turned off, and my settings are 6.5 - 12.

My readings over the last year have averaged in the mid 3s to the mid 4s. I decided to try to improve my numbers and started using a cervical collar over the last 10 days or so. My numbers immediately improved to the mid 1s to mid 2s. Is this good enough, or can I improve further?

Attached is my chart from last night - I'd love any advice any of you may have.

Many thanks!

That's a question you have to ask yourself. The question is do I feel good. If the answer is yes than it's good enough. Most here would say under 2 AHI is very good.
