Nocturnist

A physician, usually one of the best in his or her feild, who is so adept at practicing medicine that they frequently handle any and all after hour emergencies in large hospitals with little to no help at bedside from colleagues or subspecialists. Usually high income earners with strong work ethic, very often referred to as the Guardian Angels of the hospital due to their ability to single handedly solve problems and keep critically ill patients alive at night. Can often teach Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) in their sleep. Often exclusively work at night. Proper noun, capitalization important differentiator from non-physician references.

"That physician is the best damn Nocturnist that I have ever had the privilege to work with... saved more lives at night than any other physcian I know."

Nocturnal Admission

A dream in which sexual adventures are replaced with college acceptances, and you have the pleasures of dreaming that you have, in fact, been accepted into college. These are just as disappointing to wake up from as sexual dreams.

"I had a nocturnal admission last night."
"Aw, man, again?"
"This time it was Dartmouth...I cried when I woke up."

Carpe noctem

Latin for 'seize the night.' Similar to work hard, play hard, people who live by this philosophy usually have a demanding job, study and/or other responsibilities, which take up most of their day. At night, however, they become party animals and have the time of their lives.

Dude1: Hey bro, let's ditch class and get high.
Dude2: Nah man, my Econ professor is reviewing the shit that's gonna be on the final.
Dude1: Don't be such a boring nerd, carpe diem! That's how I roll and my life is awesome.
Dude2: Dude I party every fucking night and I always go home with a hottie. You're flunking out and you can't get laid to save your life cause everyone knows you're a loser. Fuck carpe diem, man. Carpe noctem is where it's at.
Dude1: Whatever man, YOLO.

nocturnal burst

A large amount of energy you get during the night. It keeps you awake no matter how tired you are!

I am so tired, because I had some crazy nocturnal burst last night.
