I agree, the day starts when I get up and ends when I go to sleep; if
I don't to go to sleep on a given night, the sunrise starts the next
day.

Still, there is a good reason for having the civil day start at
midnight: the time period from noon to noon (and hence also the one
from midnight to midnight) has the most consistent length throughout
the year.  You get much wider variation in the sunrise-to-sunrise and
sunset-to-sunset periods.
