Sorry to be a while responding - been so busy!
If you really are serious about wanting to train her to come to you when she doesn't want to, you have to make it just about impossible for her to resist the "come" command so that it will become "rote" or automatic to her when she hears the word.
When she hides, you cannot expect a dog who is not listening to you at times, misbehaving & biting (as your other thread has said), to come when called from another room - especially as she knows you occasionally are tired & a bit cranky at bedtime. You will have to overcome that & stop that or she will never ever come.
Don't feed her near bedtime while you are training her to come at bedtime. Feed her earlier in the afternoon so that she is empty at bedtime. When she hides under the bed, take that warm chicken/food treat into the room where she is, say "come" in a smiling voice & wave it under the bed then lure her out, loop a leash over her head & lead her on out. Shut the door behind you & praise her/reward her with that chicken. Eventually, if you repeat that enough, she will start to readily come out if she is no longer scared & if she gets a high-value reward - not just any old treat. No matter how tired you might be, you have to stay patient with her if she won't come out at first. She might be scared to come out at first so you have got to wait her out, staying calm & up-beat as you wait. It's just that simple. Calling her from another room when she doesn't want to come or when you are tired & she can expect some shouting from past experience, will rarely bring good results. Your physical presence right there near her, reassuring her, will start to teach her this is a "new" mommie who now is not mad at her because she doesn't always come, teaching her you are there, being nice, sitting by this bed she's hiding under & you are acting nice - and she has food I may get. She will begin to learn that the come command will get her a wonderful food reward - and remember, she is hungry from eating way earlier. That's one way to train her to do what you want.
We've all given you some ideas in other posts about what to do when she won't obey a command so now you need to go practice them. Stay patient & calm & loving & happy.
Remember, she doesn't speak your language, only your actions & reactions & rewards or good or bad experiences will teach her the "meaning" of some words you say. The word "come" has to mean good things only to her. If you teach it right & keep refreshing that training throughout her life, she will be an obedient dog.
