"Went" is usual and natural here on the East Coast of the US, but "go" is possible (more like a command) and equally "correct".

The academic answer is 'went', so use that in English classes. Otherwise, as already noted, either is fine.

Also, adding 'for':

It's time for you to go to bed.

('went' is not possible in this last one.)
