break

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'interrupt' is the first definition.

'one's rest' is the second definition.
'break' can be an answer for 'rest' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'one's' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Interrupt - rest period" , "Shatter; respite" , "Shatter; interval" , "Come to an end" , "Better opportunity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
