one of my clownfish sleeps upside down behind my heater, the other just on the sand behind some live rock, my cichlids all sleep laying on the gravel, and my betta floating behind its filter.
or do fish even sleep?
this is just how i find them when i come home from work in the night, because i work late hours and have my lights on timers. and this is how they are when lights first cut on in the mornings.

Yep, they will try to find what they consider to be a well protected spot to sleep. Sometimes this does mean some really weird positions.

i have 4 goldfish,and 1 night i got up to get a glass of water and saw all of my fish sleeping on the bottom, in the gravel. i thought they where dieing. i got up the next morning and they where at the top of the aquarium like every morning waiting for there morning meal. so i guess your fish are not the only 1's!!??
and my Betta always sleeps at the bottom of his little fish bowel, right by his rock. my friends always think he is dead.

yes. my cory catfish sleep doing headstands, tail stands, tilted against a plant and on their sides. Whenever I look in sometimes I think they are dead, but no, they are just sleeping in a goofy fashion. I have one that is 12 and one that is 14 years old so I am kind of expecting them to die at any moment

I just got a pea puffer. For some reason he likes to sleep in a diagonal position, facing upward and to either side at the bottom of one of my plants...
he's silly
