Bettas often sleep lying on one side, at the surface or resting on something. If it swims normally when awake then don't worry about it, but if the betta also seems to have trouble swimming (stuck at the surface even when it tries to dive, or unable to rise far off the bottom) then something is wrong. Usually it means you're feeding it too much and need to cut off food until it can move normally again. Their stomachs are quite tiny. It's also possible the betta is sick, and you should read websites like bettatalk to find out what you can do for them.
