No: Iron will not help unless you have iron deficiency anemia. Have a medical evaluation to determine if there is a medical reason for the fatigue. Consider having a sleep study is there are significant sleep issues.

I have been feeling sleepy and energy levels are low. I had a good sleep last night and there have been no other noticeable symptoms. I tried basic things like taking a walk outside, drinking water, a small cup of coffee... Anything to worry here?

What reasons would someone get sleepy from things such as coffee, energy drinks, or even adipex? Could this be a symptom of add/adhd?

Why do I always get so tired and sleepy after drinking coffee? Isn't it supposed to wake me up? Instead its doing the opposite. Please advice.
