Any ideas, is this just an old age thing?

Ya been through alot, old buddy. Could be your body is more sensible than your mind  - all that catching up on rest and such. Sleep is a sensitive thing - stress, weight change, meds, depression, elation -- almost anything can change the pattern for a while.
Or it could be one of about 10,000 other causes of fatigue. I'm sure you doctors can run the routine tests to make sure your blood count, thyroid, and other basics are in line next time you visit them. Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. See what your docs have to say at your convenience.
One of my great pleasures when I'm able is to catch a brief nap around that time. Wouldn't mind a bit taking that habit into retirement with me.
