(this basically says she goes to sleep before me)

but why is she using these words (yo-se-mi-acusto) (la verdad que tu si)

i would've said the same thing in different words

for the 2nd 1 i would have simply said voy a la cama mas temprano que tu

i have never even heard of the word acusto
Like Rusty said, "sí" is used to emphasize.

"Me acusto" is a misspelled "me acuesto". The verb is "acostarse" = "to go to bed", "to lie down".

Well, you got it right. There are many people who don't care about spelling and typing. Great experience for a language learner, isn't it.
