Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
For patients with hiatal hernia, offering a small meal several hours before bedtime can help alleviate sleeping disruptions. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), antidepressants, modafinil, and benzodiazepine-like drugs are not relevant interventions for this condition. Do not startle is a general intervention for any patient experiencing sleeping disruptions but is not specific to hiatal hernia.
