I'm always in the same place
Yet I never stand still
What am I?
Hint
Every time you look at me I wave

$\begingroup$ Honestly I'm surprised I've need one. Most people I ask in person get it on the first or second try, but I live in cali. $\endgroup$– Robert MennellApr 29, 2016 at 6:04

$\begingroup$ It doesn't work like that in all countries and all schedules differ daily. The first line just doesn't work. In my case, today, it comes in the morning, leaves around noon, comes back in the afternoon and leaves again in the evening. Which explains why your locals have the same perspective of this thing as you have, and others around the world do not. $\endgroup$– PL457May 9, 2018 at 10:05

$\begingroup$ @PL457 To be absolutely honestly correct, it's night high tide. That would be the tide that would come in the evening and leave in the day, however most people don't actually know that there are two tides daily $\endgroup$– Robert MennellMay 9, 2018 at 15:43

$\begingroup$ @PL457 everywhere has a day tide and a night tide $\endgroup$– Robert MennellMay 9, 2018 at 15:43

Are you...
The letter 'E'?
It doesn't go anywhere but it leaves every day
Not in "go", always in "leaves"
Every morning I leave, every evening I return
Not in "morning", always in "evening"
I'm always in the same place
Always in "the", "same", "place"
Yet I never stand still
Not in "stand", "still"

Are you
The moon?
Every morning I leave, every evening I return.
Self-explanatory
I'm always in the same place.
We always see the same side of the moon, and the moon is always in the sky.
Yet I never stand still.
It rotates around the earth (and much more movement).

$\begingroup$ I also had that thought.. but yes moon is kind of related to light. PS:It would be better if you use spoilers . :) $\endgroup$ Apr 29, 2016 at 6:02

Yet I never stand still
Hour hand always moves a little.
What am I?
The hour hand of a clock.

Are you
sleep ?
It doesn't go anywhere but it leaves every day. I'm always in the same place.
brain is responsible for sleep(hypothalamus I think).
Yet I never stand still.
Normally we don't sleep while standing !.

You are a river/stream. Constantly running and moving but never getting any closer to what u truly desire.
