I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "clear out"?

jordan, when you put your computer to sleep at night all the stuff in your ram remains there, it remains in your ram until you reboot then it flushes out everything in you memory so i was wondering if there was a way to clear it without rebooting.

Try logging out, but other than that I have no idea how to reset the RAM while the computer is running. Maybe there's a line in Terminal that could do it...
