Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I would like to tell you that there is no correlation between iron deficiency anemia and sleep walking.
The problem of sleep walking is considered to be psychological. You should follow sleel hygiene like avoiding fatty food in dinner, not taking tea or coffee in night, taking warm milk at bedtime, listening to light music at night.
Apart from this, sleep inducing agents can be used if you have difficulty in sleeping.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
