Some computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:

Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for "logical" and "arithmetic" bit-shifts. The details as to why aren't important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.

When referring to "tomorrow" in the sense of "when I wake up from my next sleep cycle", use "logical tomorrow". When referring to "tomorrow" in the sense of "after midnight tonight", use "arithmetic tomorrow" (or "chronological tomorrow", if you really want to be pedantic).
