How do I reboot the phone when the touchscreen fails?

I'm not sure if my screen froze or if the screen is dead, so I'd like to try a reboot before buying a screen. The power button requires I swipe to turn it off, but the touch screen won't respond to anything, so I can't swipe it off. Is there a way to do a hard reboot?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

How to reset

You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.

To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
