I am in a similar situation, working M-F 8.30-5 as an EA. My best hack is to take a short nap as soon as I get home and meal prep on the weekends. I eliminated most of my gym time and social events during the week and study 2-3 hours every day during the week. I try to have a day off on the weekends and one day of the weekend fully dedicated to practice exams. Especially if you are looking to study after work, taking a 15-20min nap can take you a long way and ensure a more productive study session. You got this!

Here is my routine (I try to commit to this, but it is not perfect every time):

• 6pm - 6.30pm come home & feed cat/walk dog, etc.

• 6.30pm -7pm nap time

• 7pm - 8pm dinner+caffeine

• 8pm - 11pm- Lock in to study for LSAT

PS: Some other random things that I am not sure if help or not, but I do anyway are:

Taking 10mg of creatine during the day for energy, Vitamin D and Omega-3 supplements at the right doses, I do not recommend taking melatonin for sleep as it makes me really sleepy the day after. Less screen time and meditation before bed or once I wake up really help to stay positive :)
