Do any of the following:

* Don't enable "Monitor Sleep Timers" in the first place.

-- or --

* Set a block that inhibits shutdown/suspend, etc.

-- or --

* Create a custom script with the chores that you want executed over
night.  Then point the "Custom end-of-day action command" at that script
(include sudo and put an appropriate entry in /etc/sudoers).  Enable
"Perform end-of-day action". Set the "Allowed idle time (minutes)" to 0
(zero).  Set the end-of-day start and end times for 2:00 am and 2:05 am.
Finally, include a "setblock" command at the head of your script:  

touch /var/lock/spc-block

..and clear the block at the end of the script:

rm --force /var/lock/spc-block

With this setup, SrvrPowerCtrl will wake your server up at 2:00 am and
perform the chores script and then put itself back to sleep when the
chores are done.

-- or --

Create a cron job that executes your chores script at the appropriate
time, say, 2:01 am.  Then create a "silent" alarm for 2:00 am or
whathaveyou.  A silent alarm would just be a playlist with one entry: a
mp3 or wav file of silence.  SrvrPowerCtrl will wake up the server for
the alarm.  With the server awake, the cron job fires.

Personally, I use the "End of day" option above.  My "chores" script
performs an OS update and does svn updates of my SqueezeCenter
installations.
