An alternative approach would be to use Pusher. This keeps an open connection to receiving events.

Include the Pusher javascript:

Bind to a pusher event of "refresh" with this code:

var pusher = new Pusher('abc123'); // Get a key when you sign up and replace this
var refreshChannel = pusher.subscribe('refreshing');
refreshChannel.bind('refresh', function(thing) {
  location.reload(true);
});

Then at 8pm (or whenever you want) manually issue a pusher event on the Pusher control panel page, and all of the people currently viewing the page would be reloaded.
