I don't even wake up to my (loud!) alarm clock anymore. When someone forces me to wake up, I can't stay awake longer than a few minutes, no matter how hard I try. My only solution to this problem is to stay up all night every other day. This way, I can get to classes (Monday & Wednesday) on time when I stay up.
What you have described above is EXACTLY what I experience. Nothing in the world gets me out of bed. The only thing that would wake me up is either a ringing phone, or another person, but I cannot stay awake, just as you have described. It's impossible. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of a Monday and Wednesday only schedule. Jobs usually require that you consistently get up every day. My depression/anxiety is so bad off of meds now, that I can't taper down.
