For the past weeks I been sleeping hugging two frozen bottles and waking up with back pain because I unintentionally sleep on them

You can use heat/cold gel packs which is like the bag of peas solution but fancier.

I'm very grateful for having ac though most days I sleep with it on fan mode to be safe and not catch a cold.

if you ever have to use the bottle technique again I wonder if there is a different placement with might prevent accidentally sleeping on them, like placing them at your feet or at your wrists somewhere else your back cannot as easily roll onto them

I'm glad you have electricty back 🤗
