''I told you get some sleep'' vs ''I told you to get some sleep''

I myself used to use the infinitive (''I told you to...'') but in NCIS the guy said the first one.

Anonymous in NCIS the guy said the first one. It is a different, informal spoken structure: I told you: get some sleep. I told you—get some sleep.
