Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.

After reading your comment, I was interested in whether or not I could achieve this through the built-in Shortcuts app. Unfortunately, "Restart" is not an available action.

Edit: Actually, I was looking in the wrong place. It’s an option for the "Shut Down” action. Thanks, @jwond!

There is a restart action. You need to first add the Shut Down action, then you can change it to Restart.

Nice! Just created an automation to restart daily at 4:00am. Hopefully it works without user input.
