Disastrous Doubling

I`ve been playing saxes for about 6yrs. and are quite happy in little not too hard bands. For somerthing extra I`ve started playing the clarinet and that`s started the problem.
If I practice the clarinet for an hour and then try a sax I`m finding I have to think hard or even look up a chart to play the odd simple note like an E on the sax when I have been playing Es on the clarinet. Now that is ridiculous after the years and millions of sax Es I`ve played.
Probably age has something to do with it because I`m a senior citizen but while I`ld like to progress with the clarinet I`m concerned that it might push my sax ability way,way back.
Any thoughts on this one? Perhaps playing the sax a short time and follow immediately with the clarinet, or the opposite; don`t play them both the same day?
Then again maybe this is normal and will all come good in the end (hope?)
Would welcome your contribution
