    Introduction: The preventive quarantine, due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), has generated excessive fear in society, resulting from the lack of knowledge about the situation that people are facing. One of the most vulnerable groups in this context is health personnel, who are subjected to long hours of work and high levels of stress, which triggers depressive and anxious symptomatology and a decrease in the quality of sleep. Objective: to relate negative emotional states to insomnia in health personnel during the pandemic at Quero Type C Health Center, as well as to determine negative emotional states and to identify the presence of insomnia. Method: a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational research was carried out, with a census sample of 68 members of the health personnel, to whom two instruments were applied: the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to assess negative emotional states, and the Index Insomnia Severity Test (IIS) for quality of sleep. Results: Among the main results it was possible to show that there is a significant correlation between insomnia and negative emotional states, as well as high percentages in the anxiety variable (41.2%). Conclusions: it is important that the government of each country can assess the impact of the pandemic not only on health personnel but also on the general population, only in this way quality interventions that improve lifestyle can be provided..
