The daylight effect

When working third shift, while it's dark outside you are tired and fatigued either due to lack of sleep, or exhaustion but when morning light appears (daylight) You are suddenly full of energy and awake like you haven't worked 12 hours shift

Me: "dude, I'm so eepy but I can't eep because of the stupid daylight effect
Them: What's the daylight effect?

Me: oh it's where I can't sleep because my brain thinks that the sun being out means my day is just starting when it's supposed to be ending

The T1 effect

The effect of Malding in regards to playing league of legends. The T1 effect is the ability to mald yourself, your teammates, your enemies, your fanboys, your haters and literally anyone playing with you or near you while playing a game of league of legends.

The T1 effect will cause you to win a lost game and lose a won game by furious typing alone. Whether you win or lose is determined by your ability to mald others without malding yourself, how much blood rush you’ve had in a day, and how many times you scream “fuck this game.”

Kenny sure had the T1 effect that game, I have no idea how he managed to go 0-11 and not stroke out.

Zeigarnik effect

In psychology, the Zeigarnik effect (named after Lithuanian-Soviet psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik) postulates that people remember unfinished or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. In Gestalt psychology, the Zeigarnik effect has been used to demonstrate the general presence of Gestalt phenomena: not just appearing as perceptual effects, but also present in cognition.

The Zeigarnik effect should not be confused with the Ovsiankina effect, an urge to complete tasks previously initiated. Maria Ovsiankina, a colleague of Zeigarnik, investigated the effect of task interruption on the tendency to resume the task at the next opportunity.

I can't stop thinking about that unfinished novel; it's like the Zeigarnik effect is haunting me, making it impossible to focus on anything else until I get back to it.
