My mum used to say this to me at bedtime meaning upstairs.

TBH I'd never heard the stairs referred to as Jacobs ladder. It was always the 'wooden ladder' in our house ?
Might be a biblical conotation <--- Is that spelt right LOL

Being 'Chapel People' I imagine in my mums case it would be Biblical.

In the Bible Jacob had a dream in which he saw a ladder reaching from earth up into Heaven.

Hence the saying.
