I wouldn't mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.
- There is a shortcut action to shut down the phone which you could trigger with an automation, I suppose.
  
  I can put the phone in lockdown by press-holding the power button and select the "lockdown" option. Not bad, but an actual reboot daily at night wouldn't be so bad.
- I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don't unlock it for 24 hours it'll reboot.
- It probably requires root, but I'm sure Tasker can do this.
  
  Really, all phones should have the option to reboot into locked mode on certain conditions like being taken out of network or being unattended for a while.
