Interesting read:

Impairment from gas narcosis when breathing air and enriched air nitrox underwater - PubMed
It was concluded EANx30 does not reduce narcotic impairment over air. Additionally, divers were able to make a correct global self-assessment they were impaired by narcosis, but were unable to make a finer assessment, leading them to erroneously believe that EANx30 was less narcotic than air.
