It's a long time ago for me, but a formal bedtime was quite common for me and my friends. Mine was 10pm when next day was schooldays, or 11pm Friday/Sat. That was until I finished university at 21. As i got older, and hadn't been in trouble during the week, I could easily get an extension at weekends, but never past midnight. Parents viewed us making sure we were in bed by bedtime as a test of self-discipline. They didn't warn or anything like that. But missing bedtime guaranteed a punishment.
