Krias Shema is a mitzva like tamid. By a mitzva the day comes first. The answer is that the Torah puts night first when you are lieing on a bed and being. up. But why? Because over here night comes first as the creation of the world where night came first. There is an argument between the Rambam and Ramban how many mitzvos they are. The Rambam counts them as one whereas the Ramban as two because as the Shagas Aryeh explains that it is a time dependent mitzva as the time for day is different than the time for the night.
