How often should Macs be rebooted?

I have an iMac and Macbook Pro. After a reboot, Hand-off and Airdrop start working between them and my other iOS devices again. After 2-3 days, Hand-off and Airdrop stop working. Reboot one of the Macs and all is well. It's completely annoying.

I don't have any plans to reboot my Macs every 2-3 days. I only reboot them when something is wrong (maybe every 20 - 30 days?). But is there a recommended time frame that they should be rebooted?

I've been through all the useless trouble shooting for Hand-off. Does anyone else have this same issue and have had any luck fixing it?
