The 5-minute kitchen timer trick that fixed my bedtime chaos

My kids were fighting bedtime every night for like a week straight, dragging it out with 'one more drink' and 'I forgot to tell you something.' I tried the usual stuff, counting down, threats, all of it. Then I set a cheap kitchen timer for 5 minutes and told them when it dings, we do our secret handshake and I leave the room. It worked way better than I expected, the sound made it feel like a game instead of a power struggle. Anyone else found a dumb little object that just clicks with their kids where words never did?
