Why does music feel sped up at night?
While sleeping, you enter what is known as REM(rapid eye movement) sleep. It is during this phase that your music is in simple terms “memorized” by your brain. It is at that point considered background noise that your brain tells you to ignore. It is because of that the music will often sound sped up and off pitch.
Why do things seem faster when you’re tired?
Although we feel sluggish and tired when we’re bored, at a physiological level it’s actually a ‘high arousal’ state (as measured by a faster heart rate). In turn, it’s well-established that greater arousal speeds up our brain’s ‘internal clock’, so that we feel that more time has passed than actually has.

Why do some songs sound faster or slower than others?
In your differing levels of psychological flow state, music will sound slower and faster. Probably faster if it’s just background, and slower if you’re focussed. Not only that, but your heart rate comes into play too. The perceived tempo of a song depends a lot on it. Most of the time, you’re listening to music at a resting heart rate.
