Why NumberValue does not reset once it hits 0? Just goes into negatives

Like the most basic thing and i'm having a problem with it. It's just a count down thing. Two number Values and once the seconds hit 0 its supposed to go back to 60 and drop a minute. But the timer just keeps counting down into the negatives.

01local min = script.Minutes
02local sec = script.Seconds
03local night = script.Night
04 
05while true do
06    wait(1)
07    sec.Value = sec.Value - 1
08end
09 
10sec.Changed:connect(function()
11    if sec == 0 then
12        sec.Value = 60
13        min.Value = min.Value - 1
14    end
15end)

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: Sorry I worded the title terribly. I just could not think of a way to ask this.

On line 11, you check if the value instance is equal to 0, when you should be checking if the value’s value is equal to 0.

`1`	`if` `sec.Value` `==` `0` `then`

instead of

`1`	`if` `sec` `==` `0` `then`
