No. If you doze off, you might go to sleep in a place that is not your usual place of sleep. This may be in a chair. If you get some rest, you don't necessarily need to sleep. You just relax.

No. To "doze" or to "snooze" means to enter a light state of sleep. "Dozing" can be a strange state of half-consciousness, in between sleeping and waking. People who haven't gotten enough sleep frequently "doze off" in a seated position in a boring meeting, or in a classroom. This can also be called "a catnap" or "catching forty winks."

No, to doze off is to fall asleep, often unintentionally. To get some rest could be falling asleep but it could also just be sitting down for a while. The teacher was so boring, I must have dozed off during the class. I ran fifteen miles, worked a full day, and did all my chores when I got home. I can't wait to get some rest tonight!

Hi Lucas, When we are doing something and gradually fell asleep, we say that we "dozed off". There is no intention to fall asleep. We do not "doze off" consciously. (Eg Dev dozed off while reading the newspapers on the sofa.) When we make a conscious decision to close our eyes and "get some rest", our intention was to rest our mind or sleep. (Eg. You look very tired. You should get some rest.) Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance
