The painful condition that ensues in your fingers or your thumbs after excessive amounts of texting or Blackberry Messengering (BBM). A far distant cousin of carpal tunnel.
After five contiuous hours of foreplay and sex with my girlfriend over Blackberry last night...I've got a severe case of finger tunnel.

The inability to get a decent night's sleep because of one's self-imposed obligation to read and reply to every single late night text. This thus results in a long drawn out dialogue which probably would have only lasted about 5 minutes over the phone.
An ailment often experienced by people who feel so self-important that must respond immediately to every form of technological communication.

Boss: Why are you so lethargic and lackluster at the office today?
Employee: I'm suffering from textsomnia. I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night because my friend kept texting me about the most random stuff...like Moby Dick...and floggings...and the caloric count of coconuts.

A situation that occurs over Blackberry Messenger (BBM) whereby either tone, sarcasm, inflection, humor, or facial expressions are not captured by the receiver of the message thus leading to a misunderstanding between both parties; this is often followed up by further lengthy drawn-out attempts by both parties to try to explain themselves over BBM; often, their explanations are in turn lost in translation. This phenomenon is a contemporary cause of the demise of many friendships and relationships...and of course an actual phone conversation to rectify the situation is out of the question.
Guy: So I was at the club till about 5am...I hooked up with a girl at my place till 7am...kicked her out by 8am...took a quick French shower...and was at work handling my client's conference call by 9am!
Girl: Wow, you're hot!
Guy: Thanks! I thought you might appreciate my ability to both party and work hard!
Girl: Ummm...no, I was being sarcastic. Your loose sexual behavior and cursory hygiene are quite off-putting. You are the very definition of a douche!
Guy: Well then, I guess your sheer hatred and jealousy of me were lost in BBM translation.
