This study was conducted to assess the relationship between the emotional appetite and the consumption of food and the quality of sleep during the Covid-19 pandemic process. It was performed in electronic media from December 2020 to February 2021. 860 people participated in the study have made the sample of the study. The demographic characteristics of individuals, general health conditions, eating habits and anthropometric measurements are recorded by personal information form. The Emotional Appetite Survey (DIA), the Food Consumption Frequency Survey and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) are used as a data collection tool. 65.8% of the participants are women and 34.2% are men. The average age for women is 30,6±10,08 years and for men 27,1±8,65 years. A negative and statistically meaningful relationship between the individual’s DIA positive total score and the body mass index (kg/m2) values has been found (r=-0,158; p<0,001). The relationship between the individual’s DIA negative total score and the BCI (kg/m2) values is positive and statistically meaningful. (r=0,458 and p<0,001) As a result, it is believed that individuals' nutrition and emotional appetite conditions are associated. Covid-19 pandemic has been observed to cause significant changes in the quality of sleep, eating habits and appetite.
