Since the rational answers have been covered, I would like to also explain the tech-gremlins. As time goes on gremlins attach to and breed in your electronics and eventually it gets so they can’t function very well. Like ticks. A few ticks is bad but dealable. A bunch of ticks serious problems. So when you turn off the electricity they feed on, they leave and go somewhere else. If you just restart it they have no problem. This is also why slapping an electronic sometimes helps. It jiggles them loose, and it takes them a bit to latch back on.
