Bathroom Lights go out by themselves, we reset Breakers and nothing happens about an hour later Bathroom Lights go back on without doing anything, this has happened a couple of times. Any ideas on what it could be?

they're obviously not an electrician and simply giving a homeowner's perspective on what's happening.
if the lights are out and the power is not working, we can assume somewhere the power is off one way or another.
most likely a loose wire somewhere. find the last recep on the circuit that is still working; its most likely a bad connection there or the next recep in line. if none of that makes sense, call an electrician.
I had the same situation. In a bedroom, two outlets worked but three other outlets and the closet light were gone. Circuit breakers were all normal. I checked all the outlets and as suggested above, the wire nut capping the neutral wires in the functioning outlet immediately next to the non-functioning ones had melted and wires came loose. Replaced the wire nut and everything is now back to normal. Thanks very much for the great advice.
Turn off ALL your breakers then turn them back on, (unless Ypu know the circuits that don't work) sometimes breakers LOOK ok but are tripped.
You could have a bad breaker that looks fine but internally broke. I just had a neighbor call me and said her fridge wont work. It ended up being a bad breaker. I swapped it to a new one. Sometime they just go bad.
Plugged I. Vacuum and plug sparked went and checked breaker and all was ok . This happened once before and on my one wall lights nor plugs worked three days later all on its own it started working g again what could that be .I'm scared to death of electricity.?

Plug went bad. Have an electrician replace the plug.
