Noctophasia

The phenomenon of staying up ridiculously late at night on the computer, either:

a) playing WoW
b) participating in an online RP
c) watching porn.

A portmanteau of "schizophasia" and "noctis" (Latin for "night".) If a hapless internet-goer turns the general thrill of Noctophasia into a habit, it holds the general properties of substance addiction.

Scott: How come Kim didn't wake up until four this afternoon, man?
John: Oh, she's got Noctophasia.
Scott: Poor kid.

John: Yeah, I'm trying to get her into rehab.

noctophobia

The intense change of emotions that occurs when the sun sets. Often non-frightening things turn very scary when night approaches and you are laying in the bed. Symptoms include: imagining the broom in the corner is a serial killer coming to murder you, carrying around a baseball bat just to go to the toilet, and burying yourself beneath mountains of blankets so the horrors of the night do not get you.

Oh my word! When my phone vibrated on my dresser last night, I was so freaked that I bashed it in with my fist.

Wowzers, dude. You must have had a serious case of noctophobia.
