cron is what you are looking for... but I can't image any good reason as to why you would want to automatically reboot your machine each day.
Code:
man cron
man crontab

The exact setup depends on your distribution. There should be sufficient information on the web and/or in the documentation on your machine.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. Do you know(!) that it does happen, and if so why?
Also, why would you want to do this anyway?
