By armrest do you mean something like this?

I've seen riders using aerobars as an armrest but that's not what these puppies do. I feel it can be dangerous when they are used that way. It's hard to steer and brake if you're just "resting" in them.
Aerobars are to get you well, aero as in aerodynamic like in a time trial or triathlon.
If you are feeling tired at the end of a century ask around here. It could be your bike fit, you may need to work on core and or upper body strength.
IMHO armrests are for your chair after the ride with a frosty mug of recovery beverage of choice.
