Every night whether I plug my Mac in or not it will reboot completely and say "Your Mac rebooted because of a problem" when it wakes up. I tried checking my energy and security settings to see if a setting was turned on that was shutting my Mac off but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Sounds like a Kernel Panic. See if there are any Kernel Panic logs in "/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports" with file names containing "kernel" and/or "panic". If so, then post several of them here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper on the forum editing toolbar.
Run the third party app EtreCheck and post the complete report here so we can examine it for possible clues. If there are any Kernel Panic logs, then the EtreCheck report should contain a summary of them, however, it doesn't always include enough details as the complete Kernel Panic log.

Long shot, so don't get your hopes up but open Terminal and type
pmset -g
and hit return. Then copy/paste results here
Nothing obvious there, sorry. Someone else might be along who's got some ideas.
All good, it usually restarts somewhere after 1-5 hours of inactivity if that helps troubleshoot
