Macbeth commanded rest, because his wife wasn't sleeping and was behaving most oddly. In Act 5 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] commanded the doctor to get Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] to rest. He knew that his wife wasn't getting a good night's sleep. He knew that she was anguishing mentally over murderous memories and aching emotionally over murderous deeds. He might have remembered her comment, from Act 2 Scene 2, that thinking about one's foul deeds would serve only to drive one insane.
What else can I help you with?
Why the doctor was with the gentlewoman?
The doctor was assigned to observe Lady Macbeth's unusal behavior, by Macbeth. In Act 5 Scene 3 the doctor makes his report to Macbeth. Macbeth asks, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd?" and when the doctor says no, Macbeth says "Throw physic to the dogs! I'll have none of it!" The inference we can draw is that Macbeth really does care about his wife and wants her to get better. People often misunderstand Macbeth's reaction to his wife's death as meaning that he does not care for her, but this scene, occurring shortly before, proves that he does.

Macbeth wrote a letter to his wife explaining to her all of what the witches had said. If he did not want her to be his "partner in greatness" he would have kept that knowledge to himself.
