why computers need to be restarted periodically to function correctly

I work at a major tech company and most times I go to IT, they tell us to restart our computer. Why is this a necessary process to maintain a normal operating experience?

Imagine your computer as a classroom full of kids (programs) doing activities. Over time, they make a mess (memory leaks, cached files) and might start arguing (software conflicts). Turning off the computer is like sending the kids home and cleaning the room. When you start it again, the room’s clean and everyone starts fresh. Simple as that.
