If you weren't conscious you wouldn't know it.... but thankfully you are conscious (if you like being alive that is, if you don't then I bet you wish you weren't conscious) and you do know it.
You can't even not know you're conscious if you're conscious, no matter how much you think you don't know it. You're just confused and calling something else "conscious" you know you're not unconscious. If you were unconscious you wouldn't be alive. You've be a biological organism that moved around and behaved alive.... but you wouldn't be alive. There would be no 'you' for your 'life' to matter to.
