接上叶末问:日出之前那一刻其实算白日;称它为「夜」,是因为有人那时还睡着——故经文的「当你躺卧时」也够得上。

革玛拉 答:不,并不相抵。
The Gemara answers: No, there is no contradiction.

日出之前的那一刻其实算白日;此处称它为「夜」,是因为有人在那时候还睡着——真到需要时,那一刻也够得上经文所说的 当你躺卧时,虽然其实已是白日。
Actually, the time just before sunrise is considered day and the fact that it is referred to here as night is because there are people who are still asleep at that time and, if the need arises, it can be characterized as beshokhbekha [when you lie down] despite the fact that it is already day.
与上叶末的化解正好相对:那里以「有人已起身」把黎明后算作白日,这里以「有人还睡着」把日出前算作夜。两处都不按天光定界,按人的作息定界;中文译得出,那份「同一把尺两头用」的对称却要两段并读才显。
