vampirescroll
/ˈvæmpaɪəˌskrəʊl/nounVerified NewThe late-night scroll that begins after the day has already failed to end and feeds on the sleeper's remaining hours.
It starts at midnight with "just a minute" and ends with the alarm nearer than sleep. Vampirescroll names the hour, the compulsion, and the drain — the feed that comes alive exactly when you should not.
Etym. — *vampire* + *scroll*; the nocturnal feeder. Distinct from symptomscrolling (health anxiety) and scrollgrief (resurfaced memory): this is a time-of-day phenomenon.
Rel. — symptomscrolling
