- Abstract: 【Objective】 To understand the emotion and sleep state of youths and adolescents who returned to school during the mild period of COVID-19. 【Methods】 A total of 1621 subjects were investigated using the self-made information questionnaire， SAS， SDS and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）. Nvivo12.0 and SPSS23.0 were used to analyze the data. 【Results】 The subjects reported boredom， worry， nervousness. There were significant differences in sleep quality index in terms of gender， residence status， time of reading news of COVID-19， and time of communicating with parents （P<0.01）. The sleep quality index （4.67±3.12） of college students was lower than the norm （5.8±2.4） （P<0.001）， the SAS score （42.87±9.94） of teenagers was higher than the norm （29.78±10.07） （P<0.001）， and the SDS score （47.64±11.34） of youths and teenagers was higher than the norm （33.46±8.55） （P<0.001）. During this period， PSQI was significantly positively correlated with SAS score and SDS score， and effectively predicted SAS score and SDS score. 【Conclusion】 During the stage of work and school resumption， the emotional state of youths and teenagers was still affected， but presented positive characteristics， with a variety of positive emotions. Compared with the general state， youths and teenagers showed higher depression and anxiety， but sleep quality of college students was better than that in the general state.
