105. Abū Mariam said that he heard Abū Hurairah saying: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘When one of you wakes up from his sleep, then let him not put his hand into the container until he washes it three times, for one of you does not know where his hand spent the night, or where his hand wandered.’” (Sahih)
105 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ، فَلَا يُدْخِلْ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ، أَوْ أَيْنَ كَانَتْ تَطُوفُ يَدُهُ»

The word "night" occurs in the previous Ahādīth. That's because one's hands are more likely to get polluted at nighttime rather than the day. However, the ruling applies to all times, night or day. If one sleeps during the daytime, one should still wash one's hands after awakening, prior to submerging them into the vessel holding water for purification.
