When you have me not, you want me. But when you have me, you do not know. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“Money”
While people often desire money when they lack it, having money does not lead to a state of ignorance or unawareness like sleep does. People can still be very aware of their financial status when they possess money.
“Love”
Love can be something people long for when they don't have it, but being in love does not necessarily lead to a lack of awareness. In fact, love often heightens awareness of emotions and connections.
“Food”
Food is desired when hungry, but once consumed, individuals remain very aware of their state of fullness or satisfaction. This does not align with the riddle's concept of being unaware when having it.
