I know about this expression: "it's not that bad!" It means it's not too bad.
Now my question is: can we used 'that' before other adjectives or adverbs?
I want to use it in the following sentence:
In the train, everyone slept early at night but I didn't use to sleep that soon.
Please, tell me is that correct?

This is one of the basic meanings of 'that':
Thus, one would say something like
That (and this), so, and how can all be used as adverbs of degree, but only that or so would be used here; how is typically used when the degree is unknown, e.g. I didn't know how early we would sleep.
