notification insomnia

When you're not able to get to sleep because you're waiting for a text message or some other form of electronic communication.

Terri: How did you sleep last night?
Ali: Not that great. I had notification insomnia because James is in Afghanistan and I was waiting to hear from him.

notificaptive

When one becomes a captive to their notifications, to the point where the parameters of one's life are largely dictated by the sounds emanating from their smart device. Captivity may be obvious and overt but more often is like an animal raised in a zoo - recognisable to the outside observer but not by the captive themselves.

Ollie: Hey did you not see my message?
Teddy: No I didn't as I was doing something intentional which was not, at the time, intentionally checking messages
Ollie: Dude what are you talking about?
Teddy: I'm talking about not being a notificaptive like you are

notification elation

the temporary high achieved when you receive an abnormally large number of facebook notifications

Note: the notification can be due to real activity on your profile (such as a picture comment or wall post), fake activity on your profile (such as a group of people having a conversation on one of your photos), or no activity (such as a friend used an annoying application like "compare people" and you were notified for some reason)

I got extreme notification elation when I logged onto my facebook and saw that 78 people had commented on my newly posted picture... I had no idea that many people looked at my albums!!

I was happy to the point of notification elation when 53 notifications popped up on my facebook homepage--but I was majorly disappointed when I saw that all of them were because some bitch tagged me in a shitload of random photos.

Notification Whore

Someone who checks facebook excessively to see if they've been sent any new notifications/messages

"Grace, can I go on facebook for a sec? I need to check my notifications"

"But you were just on your blackberry like 10 minutes ago"

"I know but the battery died so I need to check again, just in case someone answered my honesty box"

"Ugh, what a notification whore.."

nolifer

Nolifer, as opposed to lifer, is a person with no life. Most of the time this word is applied to people who use computers often by people who don't.

Tom is such a nolifer, he plays Counter-Strike all the time!
