Background: Napping is an essential physiological need for children as it supports growth, boosts immunity, and enhances learning concentration. Despite its benefits, the Indonesian population does not generally share a cultural habit of napping. This study was conducted to determine the effect of napping on the average grades of children, particularly elementary school students. This study aims to investigate the relationship between napping habits and the average academic grades of students at SDN Karawaci Baru 1. Method: This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted in January 2025 at Sekolah Dasar Negeri (SDN) Karawaci Baru 1. A sample size of 195 respondents was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was performed via questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, utilizing independent t-test and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The results showed that 118 respondents (60.5%) regularly napped, while 77 respondents (39.5%) did not. The average odd-semester exam score for respondents with a napping habit was 95.66, whereas respondents who did not nap obtained an average score of 92.82. A statistically significant relationship was found between children who practiced napping habits and their average semester grades (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Napping exerts a positive effect on the academic performance of elementary school children.
