Disruption of sleep patterns (circadian rhythm) caused by continued computer usage late at night or through interaction with users in different timezones.
I've been on instant messenger with friends in Europe every night this week, and now I'm so netlagged I can't get to sleep before 5 AM.

A feeling like jetlag that happens after you use your computer after sunset and the bright backlight tricks your body into thinking it's still daytime.

Netlagged is similar to being Jet lagged. It is fatigue caused by existing in at least three different time zones, whilst chatting on the internet.
GMT (UK)
Canada to GMT (UK) 6 hours difference behind
GMT (UK) to Indonesia 10 hours difference in front
chatting to people simultaneously would constitute being netlagged.
