A baby resorted to a hilarious strategy to stop his dad from snoring - by waking him up with a slap in the face.

The video, filmed in Guizhou Province, China, shows the annoyed tot taking action against his dad.

As soon as his dad starts snoring, the 15-month-old staggers over to his dad and whacks him in the face once.

It works for a while but the baby is woken up again by his dad and gives him another chubby-handed slap - much to his mother's amusement.

The video was filmed on December 16.
