Do nocturnal animals have better peripheral vision during the daytime?

I’ve noticed that my peripheral vision at night is a lot better than my foveal (central) vision. I’m guessing that’s a throwback to the days when we had to sleep with one eye open for predators.
So that got me wondering if the reverse also held true.
Do animals that sleep (and are the most vulnerable) during the daytime have better peripheral vision during the daytime?
