And there's nothing wrong with switching the words "night" and "day" in the prayers, where appropriate. The prayer should be applicable to you and your situation - you should make the prayer "yours" in that sense.
It's like how nonsensical some hymns sound when you live in the Southern hemisphere... soon we will be singing about how the "lenten spring has come" when in the Southern hemisphere it's autumn!
A few years ago someone discovered an old Holy Week service book in the choir's cupboard (here in Athens) that had a note written on the first page, "Holy Week - autumn 1973". Everyone was bemused and wondered how Pascha could have been in autumn that year, until I explained to them that Pascha is in autumn every year, and that person had obviously celebrated it in South Africa or Australia that year!
