dead asleep
Deeply, utterly zonked
Dead asleep means completely, deeply asleep—so thoroughly unconscious that waking would be difficult.
Dead here intensifies like utterly or absolutely: She was dead asleep when the phone rang.
The phrase suggests someone oblivious to their surroundings, beyond easy rousing.
