Here's the actual explanation for a five year old.

When you go to bed at night, you don't just get in bed. You take off your clothes, put them away, put on you pajamas, brush your teeth, and say good night to everybody. The computer is a little like that, it needs to 'put on its pajamas' so it will sleep well.

I always though that the point of this sub was to come up with creative teaching tools as well as explaining the answer.

Thanks for the nice compliment
