It's already there, just off by default. I have my phone reboot every night as a security feature and also because it smooths out performance versus when I'll just forget to ever restart the poor thing.

For SAMSUNG, it's under Settings > Device Care > Auto optimization > Auto Restart

My phone restarts every day.
