Putting children to bed can quickly turn from a simple daily activity into an all out war. 
 
 Netflix hopes to assuage bedtime protests with a new series of five-minute videos, launching Wednesday. The three episodes of Dinotrux 5 Minute Favorites will purportedly allow parents suggest a truce: Kids can watch an entire episode of Dinotrux, but then they have to go to sleep. 
 
 Dinotrux 5 Minute Favorites, produced in conjunction with DreamWorks Animation, are a short series of adventures from Ty-Rux and Revvit of Dinotrux. 
 
 According to an global survey conducted by Netflix, 61% of parents experience kids who try to stall bedtime. Some spend up to 20 minutes a night negotiating with kids. The survey, comprised of over 7,000 parents from seven different countries, found that American children are the most likely to try to stall bedtime through the use of creative tactics. 
 
 While the short Netflix episodes maybe a solution for some parents, others may be hesitant to allow their children more screen time, especially before bed. 
 
 A Nielsen report, which studies consumers from over 100 countries, says TV viewing among kids is at an eight-year high. The company found that children ages 2-5 spend 32 hours per week in front of a TV, and kids ages 6-11 spend about 28 hours a week in front of the TV.

 Could the bedtime battle finally be over? 
 
 Well, Netflix and DreamWorks Animation have come up with a way to at least make your child's bedtime come with a little less whine. 
 
 The digital movie company has just released three 5 minute animated movies called "Dinotrux" for when your kids beg to stay up "just five more minutes!!!" 
 
 Since each Dinotrux episode is only five minutes long, now parents have the option to come out looking like the good guy on this one. 
 
 In a press release, Netflix officials stated, " Kids will think they're getting away with murder, but parents will get the last laugh when the show ends after just five minutes and the kids are tucked in on time. Parents: 1, Kids Bedtime Stalls: 0." 
 
 Netflix recently surveyed more than 7,200 parents across the globe about the nightly bedtime stall. 
 
 They found that it's a universal problem... 61 percent of parents in the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, and Mexico battle with their bedtime stallers for nearly 20 minutes each night. 
 
 Here's what they found: 
 
 American kids take the longest to get to bed at 19.3 minutes compared to the worldwide average of 17.5 minutes. 
 
 French parents spend only 12.3 minutes on average getting their kids to bed. C'est la vie! 
 
 As for parents in the U.K., they're more likely to bribe their kids by letting them up later on the weekend or with food.

– Heeding the pleas of parents around the globe and across the ages who deal with cries of "Just five more minutes!" on a nightly basis, Netflix has introduced five-minute episodes of the popular kids DreamWorks TV show Dinotrux—cut down drastically from their typical 23 minutes. The reason? Kids stall at bedtime, and Netflix is marketing these short videos as win-win for parents and kids alike, reports KFOR 4. "Netflix and DreamWorks Animation engineered the new shows knowing exactly what kids love most: rewatching their favorite scenes," Netflix says in a press release. Its bedtime routine survey—of more than 7,200 parents in the US, UK, Brazil, Mexico, France, Canada, and Australia—found that American kids are especially good at employing "creative stall tactics," and that it takes parents in the US 19 minutes to put kids to bed, compared to the 17-minute average across all countries polled. Parents in France are fastest, at 12 minutes. Netflix says parents will look like the good guys when they let their kids watch a five-minute episode of Dinotrux before bed, but it remains to be seen whether it speeds or slows the typical bedtime routine or impacts a child's ability to fall asleep. And while Mashable calls it a truce, it also notes a disturbing trend found by a recent Nielson report that finds TV viewing among kids at an eight-year high, with children ages 2 to 5 spending 32 hours a week in front of a TV.
