This 1-year-old girl really loves eating - even when sleep beckons.

The footage, captured at a home in Atlanta, shows Poppy eating at the kitchen table with her eyes closed.

After a while chewing on a pizza crust, she can't help but banging her head from side to side as she struggles to stay away.

Poppy's mother writes: ''I was laughing so hard that it was hard to keep the camera still.

''It was actually a silly dream come true for me- I’ve always wanted one of my kids to fall asleep while eating.''

The clip was filmed on March 5.

My 17-month-old daughter Poppy fell asleep while eating lunch. She’d had a rough morning, so I loaded her tray up with her favorite foods (all carbohydrates) in order to buy myself some time to send a few work emails. When I first looked up and saw her closing her eyes, I thought something was terribly wrong, because who can sleep while they eat?! But as soon as I figured out that she was just soooo sleepy, I started videoing. I was laughing so hard that it was hard to keep the camera still. It was actually a silly dream come true for me- I’ve always wanted one of my kids to fall asleep while eating!
