Hi David,
In this context is it actually an adjective, but you are right that it takes the same construction as the past participle (unless its an adjective for a female or plural because then you change the last -o to -a or -o to -os etc).So as verb, you could say "necesito descansar un poco" or "ayer descansé mucho!", but in the adjective form it needs to match the subject.
"ella parece muy descansada" "ellos estan descansados despues de las vacaciones".
Little by little you’ll see this form to make adjectives eg. "un auto robado" -"a stolen car", "una mujer cansada" - "a tired woman".
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if I can help.
