net lag

A feeling like jetlag that happens after you use your computer after sunset and the bright backlight tricks your body into thinking it's still daytime.

(For details, google "photoentrainment".)

I was online until midnight last night, and now I feel like I'm still on Tokyo time. Net lag sucks.

Movie Lag

Similar to jet lag; symptoms include disorientation, headaches, fatigue, confusion, nausea, sensitivity to light and possible constipation.

A condition one may experience after viewing a film. Especially if the film is particularly long or if you enter the theater during daylight and exit when it's dark outside.

(Two friends exiting theater)
Richard: Man, I really loved Magnolia, but it was quite long.

Austin: Yeah it was. We sat down at 4:30 and didn't get out until past 8:00!

Richard: Well, I've officially got movie lag...
