Answer

After he goes to bed I generally watch Netflix and eat chocolate haha.
Try to go out with my friends for a dinner or something once a month.
I'll often take him for a walk in his pram and once he falls asleep I will read in the park or something.

Answer

My husband works ten hour shifts at night (10pm-8am).  Every day he wakes up at about 4 so I can go to the gym about 4-5 days a week. That’s “my” time. Then I come home and we do dinner and then bedtime for our daughter and then we get an hour or a little more for just us before he has to go to work again.  
I’m not sure about your SO’s work and sleep schedule, but if he’s getting 7-8 hours of sleep - then he should get up so you can have an hour for yourself.

Answer

I watch TV and read a book at night after everyone goes to bed. And on Saturdays I take an hour to walk/jog outside alone.

Answer

I'm 2 months PP and recently got back into yoga. Usually try to take time in the evening when I know my baby has a good stretch of sleeping.

Answer

What to do with time alone? 1. Shower 2. Cook some good food to eat later I like to cook) 3. 5-minute strength or stretch exercises, to help my body feel better 4. Grab a hot beverage and read/watch something funny. 
And if you’re less of a hermit than me, probably you want to call or visit with someone who brings joy into your life. 
Mommy time can happen before or after your husbands work shift. Or invite someone over to hang with baby during playtime. And you can certainly relax (though in a different way) while baby naps on you. I read on my phone, and sometimes eat or text.
