I had a similar experience when my child was born. The birth took about two full days, the last 36 hours of which I didn't sleep. And the first week I slept about 3 hours a night with maybe a few naps during the day.

The strange thing was, I could still function. I couldn't do anything complex, but basic tasks where not much of a problem. However, when I finally had a moment to really sleep. I couldn't. It felt like every time I had to get up to do something, I got an adrenalin rush to be able to do it and all that excitement prevented me from falling a sleep.

I fortunately didn't have any hallucinations, but I can relate to the lucid dreaming. Aside from lack of sleep, I also seem to have this after a very stressful day. I wonder if it is stress related.

We just had our first child 4 weeks ago. Relationship with sleep has completely changed. Before I'd need ~8hour of straight sleep to feel completely rested, anything less I felt like my brain was very sluggish.

4 weeks later that number is 5-6 hours.

Also relationship with coffee has completely changed. 4 weeks ago drinking a strong ~16 oz of coffee in the morning would keep me up all night. Now I drink multiple cups throughout the day and can pretty much sleep at will :)

Sleep has been very light and dreams not super vivid, every now and then will fall into a vivid dream but not lucid

Falling asleep is instantanous
