Scheduling nighty reboot for ADSL modem ...

Greetings, my MacBook Pro is connected to my Qwest DSL service via Airport Express and an Actiontec modem. I've found that to get the best connection from the modem, I need to reboot it occasionally (even if the connection is not completely lost). Normally I do this by unplugging the power adapter from the modem, waiting several seconds, then plugging it back in. I'd like to have this done for me every night (say, around 5 AM), and I know this could be done via a physical power outlet timer. But can it be done via Airport and/or my Mac? And if so, how? (I've checked in the administrative options for the modem and can't find a reboot scheduler there. My preference would be to use some option that allows me to leave my Mac in sleep mode at night.) Any thoughts?
