I don’t think the speed of the electrical impulse would change, but yes reaction time would. Perception is more about our brain processing signals than it is about the signals themselves. What you experience yourself as seeing is not the raw image going into your eyes. Slower processing means you’re also less likely to see, as in be aware of, details.
This is why tired driving is incredibly dangerous.

You’d be surprised. The speed of electrical pulses inside neurons change due to all kinds of factors, like training and diet.
I do really expect them to change with tiredness too.
Brains are weird so that checks out
