It should be 'because'since it is followed by the reason for going to bed . To use 'so' we have to say I was tired fist.

I would say "because".
I think can you say ''because'', for gives a reason for going to bed.

I would vote because here. But I won’t forget an archaic use of the word "so" to mean "if" or "on the condition that" as a conjunction.

I think it is because, since it indicates the reason why something happens.

@Michailyhs I have deleted your last post. We've received your request and have moved it to the Support Area where it has a couple of responses. Please go to that sub-section and have a look.
