Me time, then, is a period of time when a woman can put herself first and do something that she particularly enjoys to aid relaxation and revitalization.

"We hold the period of youth sacred to education, and the period of maturity, when the physical forces begin to flag, equally sacred to ease and agreeable relaxation" (Edward Bellamy).

'Rest', in terms of muscle relaxation and so on, can be achieved by a brief period lying, or even sitting down.
