It' time ~

Could you tell me what the difference is between "It's time for you to go to bed" and "It's time you went to bed" in terms of meaning or nuance? Thank you in advance.

The first is a simple statement of fact. The second is usually spoken in an admonitory tone of voice when a child is misbehaving or acting up because of tiredness.
