Bit of both. Your mind needs sleep - it seems to be important for, among other things, forming new memories. Your body can rest through meditation or just relaxation, but ultimately sleep is also necessary to fight off infections, parasites, and handle pathogens.
If you've been on a long run and you're tired, then you sit down and rest, yes, your energy will rejuvenate. but, over all sleeping is the time to fight infections and get most of your energy back.
