People taking klonopin are typically instructed to start low and slowly increase dose to let the sedative effects diminish (which they typically do in time), but the anti anxiety benefits remain for most people. I'm not sure why a doctor would have anyone take klonopin 3 times a day when it has such a long half life.
I take it once a day per my doctors instruction and now that I'm at a theraputic dose I have 24/7 coverage for my social anxiety. Plus, the sedative part has diminished. Taking it at bedtime probably helps with that. But certainly everyone is different.
