internet - Skypelag replaces jetlag

It feels a bit like a jetlag, but it cannot be, since I have not seen an airplane. Hard to concentrate, a light feeling and a tendency to dooze off. This morning I was talking to a colleague in Amsterdam and she came up with a diagnosis, after listing to my complaints. "You have a skypelag".
So, then "Skypelagged" would be the best way to describe my state. I'm currently brokering half a dozen deals between mostly internet-savvy people on at least three continents. In most cases they have not yet really met, but would now and then wave through webcams to each other.
They will get their jetlags too, but for the time being talking and negotiating over the internet seems to work fine. I guess it is time to prepare writing a book on this modern illness. The Skypelag.
