Adorable footage has emerged from China of a sleepy child nodding off while leaning on a table, before eventually falling and banging her chin.

In the video, filmed in Weihai, Shandong Province last Tuesday, the three-year-old girl, wearing a onesie, is falling asleep by standing up and leaning on the table.

However, it doesn't look like a pleasant sleeping posture, so eventually she drops to her knees.
