I had that too. From an engineers perspective it looks like there is a coupling between the auditory and visual system/nerve. It makes sense that it only happens when you are lying in bed because there is no sensory input and the 'gain of the signal amplifier' is at maximum.

And if you're tired parts of your brain fall asleep before the entire brain, so you could be more attuned to more primitive sensory effects.
