Technically, Robert is right that "rest" is not countable, but in the context you have described it is often used in a countable way. For example, a parent collecting a child after a day in childcare might ask, "How many rests did she have today?" Technically, this is probably an abbreviation of "rest breaks" or "rest periods", but it is a fairly common use.
