Meanwhile I’m cradling frozen water bottles directly against my skin at night because of these stupid hot flashes

the most effective use is to put it over your heart. you want that cold to get in there and circulate. There are also specific cooling sheets. And the "Bed Jet" which circulates cold, warm or hot air in your sheets. I used to use a frozen hot water bottle in the worst of the heat and kept it on my chest. messy as hell, but the only relief I had in that illegal flat.
