As a public health emergency, COVID-19 has a continuous impact that cannot be ignored. College students’ mental health and sleep quality have always been the focus of society's attention. The impact of COVID-19 on it and ways to improve it need more attention. This review searched the empirical studies of databases such as Google Scholar through the literature reading method and found that college students' mental health and sleep quality have suffered because of COVID-19. However, social support can play a protective role in it. In comparison to people with low social support, those with high social support are less likely to have mental illness and have higher sleep quality. The results in this review serve as a foundation for improving college students’ psychological and sleep problems in the future. The period of college is an important stage in the development of individual psychology and socialization. During this period, college students experience the role transition from juvenile to adult. Therefore, in this special period, society must take notice of the psychological and sleep problems of college students, and to improve them through scientific methods.
