The days in the Islamic calendar don't start at midnight like our modern Gregorian calendar days do, rather, the new day is considered to start at sunset (i.e. maghrib time). Therefore days on the Islamic calendar won't perfectly match up with the days on a modern calendar, and would typically include the previous night as in the examples you listed.
