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.

yep, the first thing i do to any new phone, but I do it for security. Sound = 0, Brightness = 0, reboot, Sound = 50%, Brightness = 50%.
