Anticipation Awakening 

When someone sets an alarm clock, but wakes up just before it actually goes off.

Usually as a result of the brain anticipating that it will suddenly be awoken by a loud sound and therefore you awake without the need of the alarm.

"I don't know why I keep setting my alarm every morning, because I just end up waking up 10 minutes before it goes off".

"That's an Anticipation Awakening my good friend".

Holiday Anticipatory Angst 

Your desire to see your family at the annual gathering is offset by your anticipatory angst of being judged by your family though your own inner critic judges you mercilessly.

Holiday Anticipatory Angst includes a wide range of stress regardless of one's personal happiness or not so happiness in their own life situation. An example could be when you are pleased with yourself for making a decision regarding a difficult situation, yet have so much angst about revealing your choices at a large family gathering that you have thoughts of skipping the entire event.

Summer Anticipation Disorder 

That point in a school year, where summer break is finally in sight but still seems so far away. A moment in time where it's still too early to say, "Yay! It's almost summer!" but late enough in the school year where you just want to get out of there. Worse yet, those big scary exams are coming up, and you probably have a project or two that is worth more than half your grade lying around. Teachers are usually completing their curriculums around this time, and students have gotten noticeably cockier. Not to be confused with senioritis because this happens in almost every school year.

Person 1: Yay, summer's almost here!

Person 2: Dude, summer is still seven weeks away, chill out. You must have Summer Anticipation Disorder.
