It's about that time you get yo lazy azz to bed. That's my way..
I think all are correct except should go to bed. I personally think, It's time for you to go to bed sounds the best. However, went (past subjective) is also appropriate if the time has passed for someone to go to bed.
This is an idiom we use in England - I don't know why we use the past tense in English in this construction - we just do! The only correct ways of saying this are: It's time for you to go to bed or It's time you went to bed There is a slight difference in meaning: It's time for you to go to bed means You should go to bed now; it's time you went to bed or it's high time you went to bed suggest that you should already have gone to bed some time earlier. There is no difference in meaning between it's time you went to bed and it's high time you went to bed; the form with high is just a little mopre emphatic. We also say It's about time you went to bed with no difference in meaning from it's time you went to bed Other examples It's time you finished you work It's high time they banned cars from the town centre It's about time you went home
