[B-Greek] relax!

As I was waking up, under the weather, feverish, I wondered how to
say 'relax!'.
ANAPAY'-OY αναπαυου 'be resting' didn't seem to capture the
transfer from a 'tense-state' to a relaxed state.
But ANA'-PAYSAI  αναπαυσαι , the aorist, seemed to fit.
I don't like to rely on 'aspect' to communicate a different semantic
sense, but maybe this could work. What do you think?
