Rest should not require proving you are already broken.

Needing rest is not a claim you have to justify with evidence of damage. Waiting until you are visibly struggling in order to feel entitled to stop means you only ever rest from a deficit, which is both harder and less effective. Nothing about ordinary tiredness requires a permit.

Take rest before you can prove you need it. If the idea makes you uncomfortable, notice who you imagine is auditing the decision, and whether they are actually watching.
