When I had my BTA he also did this, though not on a schedule. The clown that hosted him would swim over and nudge him (vigorously!), it drove him nuts when the anemone was closed up.
I'm not sure if that is how they rest, or what, but I'm pretty sure it's normal.
What are tank params and details? What are you feeding him?

BTA's sort of fold up at night, and the fish should sleep within the folds for protection.
The clowns should adjust to the anemone's schedule.
