me time
Personal relaxation period
Me time is informal time that a person sets aside to be alone and do what they want, free from obligations to others.
It emphasizes self-care and personal enjoyment, whether that means reading, exercising, or doing nothing at all.
I need some me time after this hectic week.
The phrase is especially common among parents and caregivers who rarely get moments to themselves.
