"me time" vs "me" time vs me-time
As far as I know, when we add a hyphen (-), it can be an adjective.
But I've seen me-time many times in the dictionaries.
And some people use the quotation marks, such as "me time", sometimes "me" time.
Among those three, which one is correct?
I feel "me time" is the correct one because when the subject is not even 'I', we could use the expression, me time. Or is it okay simply write me time without any quotation marks, hyphen?
Thank you! :)

I think “me time” is the way I usually see it.

I say, "me time". If I were to write it out, I might use the quotation marks depending on whom I'm talking to. The phrase is slang...a made-up word, but it basically means, "I need some time by myself" or "time alone" (quiet solitude...) It could also mean time to do something for yourself, like get a haircut, pedicure, go shopping, go for a walk, etc. Your first choice is correct, but nobody is going to correct you because it's not a real word. :-) (I'm writing casually here, and not focusing on perfect grammar, lol)

Like “Having some me time.”
I haven’t seen it like ‘me-time’ before.
I think it depends on the person and their creativity when it comes to writing.
Does this help?
