night time gamers only

pc feels snappy always after 5-8pm every single day. for the past 6 years ive noticed this. i'm not trash either so it's very perceivable. super obvious too (display looks clearer, mouse moves smoother and faster). i stop playing until around that time just to ensure it feels like this.
i hate this inconsistency. it's a 2010 apartment too so the wires aren't trash or anything.
using a online double-conversion solved the input lag aspect of it, but things look and feel so smooth at night time only.
any other night owls here?
i live in california, USA

Many new 2010s apartments still have shared neutrals...nothing you can do about it, welcome to the club. Less people in apartment using electricity at night = snappy smooth PC.

It’s still lucky imo, I would be happy if I could play without any problems 5-8 pm to the morning, really. I would be happy af. I couldn’t play 24/7
