Applying to PM jobs while working - how do you manage?

I’ve spent the last several months interviewing at several companies, and I’m consistently choking on the final round/presentation stage.
I haven’t done tons of prep but am realizing that I’ll need to in order to get offers. But the difficult part is finding time to prepare while working a full-time job as a PM, which also takes up time.
I’ve been working for 5 years (with a decent amount of savings) and am considering quitting to get some rest and focus on interviewing full time. For experienced PMs that work and interview, how do you manage?

Doing consistently well doesn't mean there isn't a luck factor. It also doesn't mean to not prepare
I’m doing it while working at Amazon and being a nursing mother of a newborn (also have a toddler). So add no sleep, no weekends, and sde-interviewing husband.
It’s time sucker. If you can’t afford it and mentally tired, take a break and return in a few months
