Int number not counting up inside a static coroutine ?

Getting Started

I don’t understand this, i have this script which works fine, and i’ve added a timesClocked; int which counts how many times the player used clock, everytime CountDown coroutine is activated , it should add +1 to the timesClocked, but its staying at 0?

here’s the script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class SlowDownTime : MonoBehaviour {


    public static float slowTimeScale = 0.3f;
    public static float normalTimeScale = 1f;
    public static float timeOut = 2f;

    private int timesClocked;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start ()
    {
        timesClocked = 0;
    }
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player") {
            other.GetComponent<Player_Controller> ().StartCoroutine (CountDown ());
            Destroy (gameObject);
        }
    }


    public static IEnumerator CountDown()
    {
        Time.timeScale = slowTimeScale;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds (timeOut);
        Time.timeScale = normalTimeScale;
        timesClocked = timesClocked + 1;
    }

}

it’s also giving me this reference error

Assets/Scripts/SlowDownTime.cs(40,3): error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member `SlowDownTime.timesClocked’

Just read error again. You can’t non-static variables put into static method => timesClocked is not static.
