The new day in Judaism began at sunset that evening. So, "the next day" could have referred to one minute after sundown. Therefore the guards still could have been posted the first night. But there is a gap between Aramathea placing Jesus' body in the tomb, rolling the stone in front, and, the Jews going to Pilate, asking and receiving the guards, and the guards coming to the tomb and sealing the stone.
