Welcome to the forum.  You really need to download OSCAR and post some charts before anyone can be of much help to you.  It is a free download. The program is located in the top center of the screen in the black band.

Charts are not showing us too much, but your epap is set to 4cm, that's too low, please raise it to 7cm.

With an AHI of 1, I doubt Bipap would help. Could be a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with apnea. Google fragmented sleep….Fragmented sleep could be insomnia. Try CBT?
