Unsteady clock

A figure of speech to describe sleep deprivation in the sense that a person cannot tell what time of day it is as soon as they wake up.

For an example, someone may wake up at 6:00 in the evening after sleeping all day, then they might believe it's 6:00 in the morning instead, because it's dark outside, and they must have slept for so long that their mind had went blank and forgot about the time of day.
Your sleeping habits are like an unsteady clock! Quit staying up so late, and you won't sleep all day on the next day!

Unstructivity

A portmanteau of "unstructured" and "activity". The things one does all day without little or no planning, and with no particular goals in mind. While typically applied in a mildly amusing way to describe adult behavior, it might be used to describe in a quasi-clinical way the "playtime" of toddlers or pets.
"His loves his hours of unstructivity, floating like a leaf in the wind from this to that."

Undating

When you're currently in a relationship that's been going great but then the other person begins to change how much attention and love they give you as they slowly make their way back out of the relationship.
I feel like Bill is undating me. He's taken his things and moved back into his apartment even though he says he still loves me. But, the amount of texts he sends has lessened throughout the day. He is undating me!
