The results indicated that Day Time Sleepiness (r = .19, p<.05) and fear of COVID-19 (r = .31, p<.01) have significant positive relation with emotional adjustment among adolescent. The step wise regression analysis found fear of COVID-19 (R2 = .09, p<.001) is a predicator of emotional adjustment which accounts 09% of variance in emotional adjustment among adolescents.
