It seems like I can watch videos on lower volume, hear more sounds coming from my computer etc. I’m wondering if it’s just me or is there any explanation?

Likely: less stimuli to process.

Possibly: evolutionary adaptation as many human predators are nocturnal (eg wolves, large cats, other people using cover of darkness and sleeping tribemates as opportunity)
