If you work the night shift and always go to sleep during the day do you say Krias Shema Shel Hamitah?
Edit: Question is mostly about the actual Shema, the brachos seems like people mostly saying you don't say them.

If one has to sleep in the day then the Rema Orach Chaim 231,1 brings an opinion that one only says "Vihi Noam" to protect from Mazikin:
אם אי אפשר לו ללמוד בלא שינת צהריים – יישן. ויש אומרים שיקרא קודם שיישן ויהי נועם
But the Mishna Brura quotes the Levush that you don't say anything
ויהי נועם - משום סכנת מזיקין. וכתב הלבוש שאין נוהגין כן:
As for Bircat Hamapil you don't say it when sleeping during the day as stated in the Biur Halacha Orach Chaim 231,1
על שינת היום לא נתקנה הברכה לענין ברכת המפיל נראה דעבר זמן שהרי אינו יכול לומר השכיבנו אחר עה"ש כדאיתא שם בגמרא וממילא בעיניננו ג"כ אינו יכול לומר שתשכיבני לשלום שאין עוד הזמן של תחלת שכיבה אלא סוף שכיבה
The Kriat Shema of the morning must be said but does not need to repeated when sleeping during the day as this is not the regular time for sleeping for the average person and Chazal did not make exeptions for nocturnal workers
