Ok, as a full-time software developer, single guy, part-time student and aspiring fiction writer I can talk about what works for me.
I have two usable slots for writing: get up early and write before work or write late at night. I'm really not a morning person so in the morning I just do half an hour immediately after I wake.
In the evening I have roughly 7pm - 11:30pm to play with. I normally sit down to write between 9pm and 10pm and then go through till 11 - 11:30. I don't think this is really enough and I'm looking at how I can get another hour or so a day from somewhere.
The most important thing is to set a regular time and stick to it. Certainly, for fiction anyway, making this time as close to sleep as possible seems to help.
