Why do computers slow down, but then you restart them and they work again?

Could you explain in the form of an analogy? Also, has this improved over time? Does it have anything to do with registry and defrag? Is it different for Mac vs PC? Thank you 🙂

**WELL,**

It’s just like you and sleeping. After lots of work and effort, your mind is full of “junk” from the day, which makes your brain “glitch” and you start doing blunders.

After you go to sleep, you **GO BACK TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED** and when you wake up, you’re clear. You have your mind ‘fresh” and you can start better.

During the day, you use “short term memory” to remember virtually irrelevant stuff/tasks like “*order pizza*”, “*clean the table*”, “*water plants*” etc., that you don’t want to remember afterwards, you wouldn’t remember it, say, in **5 years**.

So, after many small tasks, you start to feel overwhelmed and you start brushing your teeth with your hairbrush because many things are going all around your head.

The next day, you wake up feeling calm and you can start re-filling your mind with activities.
