I think he's saying that grammatically it should be "go to your bed," similar with "never you mind" or the welcome home one
But I think it's fine considering there are sentences where parts of the sentence are only implied, like "help [me]!"
Adding insult to injury seems fine though. Someone kicks you and calls you a bitch. Makes it a little worse.
