I found out i was low on iron so im taking iron supplements, does that have something to do with bad kidneys? and why do i sleep so much better when im taking them? it used to be harder to sleep but now im finding it easier, how that that work?

Iron deficiency is not related to kidney function. Iron intake is not generally related to sleep either. Wish you good health!
