Actually, a quicker way: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power menu appears on the screen, then select 'Restart'. It's like asking nicely before the nap.
Did a soft reset once, thought it went into the void. But nope, came back fresher than a morning breeze. Do it when it's being sluggish or acting weird. Works like charm!
Soft reset? Just turn it off and on again. If it's more complicated than that, it's not 'soft' anymore, is it?
