The noun form of the adjective conscious is consciousness. That is what you would regain if you had been asleep, knocked out, or in a coma. Hopefully you will never lose your conscience, and therefore you won’t need to regain it.

Ha! I wonder how often those two words get mixed upo.
I’ve seen people talking about regaining conscience numerous times, as well as stream of conscience. I’ve also seen someone making a conscience effort, which I expect was conscientious. I’m sure it happens more often than you can imagine.
