This website seems to say it �s wrong.

Take a nap. Take a break. Why not "take a rest"?

dawnmain

I would say take a break or have a rest.

Apodo

I agree with dawnmain.

Take a break or have a rest are the most commonly used phrases.

According to the dictionary and http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=19880, "take a rest" is correct, although as Apodo and Dawnmain say "take a break" or "have a rest" are more commonly used.
