Lack of sleep lowers IQ by up to 15 points

https://www.edubloxtutor.com/effects...on-and-health/
Less sleep lowers IQ scores and grades

According to Coren, scores on intelligence tests decline cumulatively on each successive day that you sleep less than you normally sleep. The daily decline is approximately one IQ point for the first hour of sleep loss, two for the next, and four for the next. After five successive days of sleeping less than you need, your IQ can be lowered by up to 15 points.
This means that a person of normal intelligence could have an effective IQ of only 85, the level at which you would need special education in order to learn. Even a very ‘bright’ person (IQ of 120 plus) can be reduced to robotic thinking, as though on automatic pilot.

Stress in general seems to do a good 15 in the worse cases.
