Just as perspective. Any sport gets me to a high that ends with a crash. Just like with coffiene for example. Personally it makes things worse for me.
Also i usually recommend sativa and to stay away from indica. Sativa turns my depression into productivity, indica into a careless couch potato (which may is what you want tho)
Agreed on sativa for getting out of a low, but depending on strain they can make me too active and keep me awake till late in the night, but that's just me.
That's why I'm not sure they are that good of a choice for dealing with insomnia, a hybrid might be a good middle ground between light couchlock and lifting mood.
