I've had a few with severe sleep deprivation. I recognise it from the way people describe it, but the descriptions aren't exactly what happens (for me, anyway).
People talk about floating above themselves, but for me it was more about having a perspective that was outside myself. It's not that I could see myself, more that I was aware of myself from an external locus.

@John2019 It's always very positive and I enjoy it much more than any of the other symptoms of severe sleep deprivation. You don't see yourself with your eyes. You just get the impression you are outside yourself and you can actually locate and sense yourself at a distance, just not see yourself. I'm convinced there is nothing supernatural or spiritual about it and that it is just one of the functions of our brain when in an abnormal state.
