We do have them in the day, just they not show up as well. Many seem more numerous before dawn, because they best seen then or the angle they hit the atmosphere at that time. All I know.

Both previous answers are correct, but I just wanted to also mention that if the Moon is bright, it's harder to see meteors go through the atmosphere. The darker the sky, the easier it is to see them.
You may have heard the old saying, "I'ts always darkest before the dawn," which may explain the phenomenon you are describing.
