Dumb question -- how do you guys bulk up?

At the most basic level, I know you need the intake calories to exceed the amount of calories you expend. And then it is a matter of consuming enough proteins, doing enough weights, and getting enough rest to build muscles.

I've been plateauing for quite some time now -- probably minimal fluctuations within the past year or more. I suspect my problem is 2-fold:

1) I am not getting enough sleep
2) I am not eating enough

The question I really want to ask is -- how do you get yourself to eat more when I don't really feel like eating anymore? If I am already full, I don't want to eat more. But if I don't eat more, then I don't think I am providing enough fuel and nutrients to build more muscles.

I remember reading about Hollywood stars going on some crazy bulking prep for their roles in MCU superhero roles, where they go through crazy bulking and cutting regimes where they have to force themselves to eat even when they don't want to, or starve themselves even if they are really hungry. Obviously I am no Hollywood star, and I am not auditioning for superhero movie roles, so I'd hardly think those extreme approaches are what I should follow.
