Have you installed any apps that you use or might run in the background? It might not be the OS. I've had the same problem before on both a Samsung Galaxy Nexus using JB and ICS as well as a LG Nexus 5 using KK. Phone gets sluggish, check memory, missing a lot. Reboot, and it is all back.

Both times it turned out to be an app that I had downloaded to try out. Needless to say they got uninstalled.

Go into settings, then under Device, pick Apps, and check the Running tab. If anything is eating up a lot there you can try killing it. After that, click the three dots in the upper right and select "Cached Processes". That is where your most likely to find your culprit.

Also, if you have any apps that notify you that you don't really need to see. Turn them off. It seems a common theme that developers for Android are not using the recommended design schedule to call home and check for updates or whatnot.

Edit: Oh, and yes there was a suspected memory leak in one of the KitKat versions. Only way to free up the memory was to reboot the phone. Update your phone when you can.
