Detailed explanation-1: -The word rest can be used as both a noun and a verb. But since it cannot be counted, we don’t use a rest. Hence, the expression I am taking a rest is incorrect. Rather, I am taking rest is preferred.

Detailed explanation-2: -“A rest” is a noun. It means a pause from working. The idiom that we use with the noun is, “to take a rest.” This is a parallel structure to some other common idioms, “to take a break, ‘’ “to take a nap, ‘’ and “to take a bath.” In the UK, they say, “to have a bath” instead of “to take a bath.”
