Some people count when they are angry and want to cool down.
Some people count sheep when they’re having trouble falling asleep-
neither of things things ever worked for me because I have a total phobia where numbers are concerned and I stress out like you wouldn’t believe when I have to think about them.
So what do I do?
When I get down or angry or have trouble falling asleep I go over the stages of Decomposition.
Look.
It works.
And if you want to try it sometime yourself here they are:
Fresh-
algor mortis sets in
Bloat
Body goes through rigor and livor will be fixed
Active Decay
The body begins to break down at the face and then down to the chest and then to the hands and feet. Active Decay moves faster in warm moist climates and slower in cold climates.
Dry Remains
All soft tissue is gone, only the bones remain. Skeleton maybe intact depending on weather or animal activity. In drier climates the skeletal frame may still be covered by a fine layer of skin.
Um.
I mean
….OM…..
I can feel it working already.
Irregular Bones 
time frame?
For you N.M. ( had some sleepless nights? )
Here’s the time frame-
The second life ends the stages begin- stages are affected by the enviorment- heat, humidity and geography
Stage 1- occurs in the first 24 hours
Bloat- within 48 hours
Decay- takes place within first few weeks to months-
Dry Decay-Dry decay Begins when Active Decay ends. Dry decay can take Months to years to complete
I’m not sure for the time frame for how long it takes bones to break down…
Like I said earlier, how fast this actually happens on the enviorment.
a.m.
Hmmmm, I’ll mention this to my yoga teacher. It will give a whole new meaning to shava-asana, or “corpse posture”, http://www.santosha.com/asanas/shava.html
L.
I don’t want bloat. Take me to the crematorium.
