Use the Cisco router enable mode command 'reload in N' where N=the number of minutes after pressing enter following this command that the router will reload. For example:
router#reload in 5
The above command will reload the router in 5 minutes. The command seems trivial but consider the scenario where you are configuring a remote router and lose connectivity due to a misconfiguration. If you were able to enter the command ahead of time then the router would reboot in the specified number of minutes and your configuration would be restored, allowing reconnection.
