I recommend working through the short tutorials on the Freestyle Libre website which explain how to use the app.
If you select Logbook from the top left menu (a number of horizontal lines) this will show you your individual readings.
This may be what your screen shot shows, although it doesn't look quite like my Android version.
Are you using an iPhone?
Anyway, on my phone if I click on an individual Logbook entry it them shows a graph which included the reading.
This does show a full day (00.00-23:59) so you might have to look at two days if your time of interest spans midnight.
From the graph, you can see that your levels started dropping at around midnight (when the line started going down) and the lowest point was at about 7:30 but not for very long.View attachment 52556 View attachment 52557
Yes I'm using an Android phone.
Would you be able to tell from this when you started to drop and how long you had been low for?

Were you not taught graphs in maths at school?

Noting that you haven't posted a screenshot of the graph I suggested.

From this graph you started to drop at about 1am, where the line starts going down. You were too low, underneath the red line, from about 6am-8am. Your red line, however, is set at about six mmol/l, which is higher than hypo level. Reading from the graph (and being really limited in accuracy by the the display) I'd say you were actually hypo for a few minutes at about 7:30am.
You need to be able to interpret this sort of thing to get the maximum benefit from the Libre. Maybe a meeting with your DSN to go through it would help.

The green line is where you were at your highest. At the bottom you can see the time, so you started to drop at around 1AM.
On the left side you can see your blood glucose. The peak stops just short of the 15 mmol/l like, so the highest you have been is around 14.
You haven't been low, because you didnt go below 4.
You have been below your target though, that's between the orange lines. Looking a the times on the bottom, you can see you were below target between shortly after 6 AM and around 8.
If you go below 4 the line will change colour.
On the left side you can see you dropped to about the middle between 3 and 6 mmol/l, so you dropped to about 4.5 at your lowest.
Please can you post a screenshot of the graph which you meant?

Click on a Logbook entry.
In this case the 6.8.

You can now see all your readings for the day, and a graph which shows you what happened between readings.
I tend to find this more useful than the top level view already shown.

I'm using my mobile phone for my libre instead of the reader.
Last night I had a big drop. How do I find out when I started to drop? Is there supposed to be a red line somewhere?
