Explanation

The available references do not specifically discuss whether stress or anxiety can make sleep myoclonus worse. The first reference explores connections between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep disorders, but does not specifically mention sleep myoclonus. The second reference focuses on familial adult myoclonic epilepsy, which is a genetic condition. Since the references do not provide a clear answer to the question, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
