I remember my old phone had the option to auto reboot and I had it set to like 3am but now I don't see that option on newer phones. My previous phone didn't even have a reboot option I had to shut it down and power it back up
I'm using Automate for this purpose, it's a very simple flow:

For Samsung phones. Go to Settings -> Device Care -> Under Performance you will see Auto Optimization -> At the bottom of the page you will see Auto Restart -> Restart on Schedule -> Done.
Would alarms work after a restart if I don't unlock ot first?
I've tested this and they do still work
Awesome thank you for your testing
For iOS they do; I would assume for Android they will as well. It would be pretty bad if an automatic update stopped you from waking up in the morning…
I have childhood memories of feature phones that would trigger alarms even when the phones were turned off.
I've noticed my phone doesn't initialize anything until I unlock it then it takes a while for it to boot up and all that but also I haven't seen it reboot on its own, it usually gives you a prompt
