Now that you've mentioned men and women, I remember when we used to still live at our parents, my mom's "me time" were Saturdays. She would go out every Saturday to (window) shop. Even if she didn't buy anything, she just needed to get out of the house and everyday after work she took an hour nap and when people called for her we had to ask them to call back later or she would call back. This of course doesn't include urgent matters.

But those are things I could take with me.
