Textsomnia

The inability to get a decent night's sleep because of one's self-imposed obligation to read and reply to every single late night text. This thus results in a long drawn out dialogue which probably would have only lasted about 5 minutes over the phone.

An ailment often experienced by people who feel so self-important that must respond immediately to every form of technological communication.
Boss: Why are you so lethargic and lackluster at the office today?

Employee: I'm suffering from textsomnia. I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night because my friend kept texting me about the most random stuff...like Moby Dick...and floggings...and the caloric count of coconuts.

I was going to go to bed, but then techsomnia hit and I just HAD to root my Samsung Epic and put a new rom on there. Next thing I know it's 2:30 a.m. and I have to be up for work at 6.
