Workout recovery for over 60

ZVP6H

I swim about 1600-2000 meters (short course) a couple of times a week, sometimes three. I'm looking for advice on how to improve my recovery. While I'm working out I feel great, but after, and for a good 24 hours after, I feel completely wiped out. I find it difficult to sleep after a workout (takes the form of waking up a lot during the night), which feels so counter-intuitive if I'm so spent and feeling good about it. 

I have never taken vitamins or supplements, only because I've never felt I needed to. But I figure I must be nutritionally deficient in something. I'd like to improve these recovery periods. Any advice?

    It may help to get a professional to methodically look for anything that needs attention in the basic 6-8 areas: per www. lifestylemedicine.org: Nutrition, exercise, stress management restorative sleep- the apps Sleepwatch and ICBT helped me), community/purpose, and avoid risky substances. Per Newstart Program: nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance, fresh air, rest, trust in God. This may be multifactorial, and deserves an objective, wholistic approach

    PS: there is no benefit of drinking alcohol that outweighs the damage. My best resource for sleep is Matt Walker PhD neurobiologist researcher for sleep. The book and youtube videos are enjoyable
