Does Iron Supplement Cause Disturbed Sleep During Pregnancy?

I am 28 weeks preganant. I have low iron and have been told by my OB/GYN to take a 65mg iron supplement in addition to my prenatal vitamin. I have been taking it for 3 days now. Starting two nights ago I am having vivid nightmares. Can this be a result of the extra iron?
