The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) forced the Ukrainian government to introduce lockdown on March 12, 2020. In addition, the transition to distance learning in schools and universities has posed new challenges to the entire education system and young people. In this study, a survey of IT students was conducted using Google forms. The questions in the questionnaire were aimed at studying the impact of online learning on the distribution of the students’ day and the impact of the pandemic on the emotional state of a young person. The survey results showed significant changes in the daily schedule of students caused by the pandemic crisis. Thus, a remarkable increase in computer time can be a negative factor in influencing the health and emotional state of the younger generation.
