sleep news
Definition
A neologism referencing the act of mindlessly scrolling through news headlines late at night, often leading to a paradoxical state of heightened anxiety and extreme fatigue.
The phenomenon of seeking out alarming or heavy information right before bed, effectively ensuring your dreams are filled with current event trauma rather than peaceful visions.
Examples
I fell into a classic case of sleep news, and now my brain is convinced that global economic collapse is imminent despite being safely tucked under a weighted blanket.
My nightly ritual involves dimming the lights, grabbing my phone, and doom-scrolling through sleep news until my eyes feel like they have been sanded shut.
Some people count sheep, but I prefer the modern approach of consuming sleep news to ensure I stay awake until 3 a.m. questioning the fabric of society.
