When my computer does that, its when I'm having it process way too much at once.
Now that you've brought that up, it makes me wonder if the OP's wireless keyboard utilizes some type of buffer, and the OP is typing faster than the keyboard's buffer can transfer the keystrokes to the program.
Even in the old days waaay before pentiums were invented, that is virtually impossible.
Why? Because your keyboard can't send characters faster than a buffer could receive them.
A buffer, any buffer, is Ram - that's about a million times faster than any keyboard output.
However, it could possibly be tiredness - not pressing the keys hard enough to register.
My OH does that quite a bit late in the evening when she's typing her book.
Or, possibly, you have something else running in the background that is using up the CPU cycles and thereby 'missing' the device interrupt that the keyboard creates on every keystroke.
Of course, that assumes that the keyboard itself doesn't have a hardware issue somewhere that only manifests itself during the evening (heat, humidity, other external wireless activity etc).
If the batteries are new~ish and it behaves itself at other times, I would be looking at other external influences causing interference. Some household appliances cause RF interference for wireless devices.
Personally, I would never have a wireless anything because of external interference causing problems.
I have tried it twice in recent years and gone back to wired stuff.

Keyboard Hanging Up - 
Profile
Seriously, it's doing it now, it's late morning, and the cat has been into his nap on the couch away from the keyboard for several hours now (he had a hard night sleeping.)
