Brief Answer:
Stop and see.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
In such case I would recommend you to stop the seeds for 5 days and see if you are able to regain your normal sleep.
For osteoarthritis glucosamine shows it's effects in a very long term. So stopping it is not going to harm you in any way.
If you regain your sleep after stopping the seeds then they might be the reason.
If still you feel the problem then other causes need to be evaluated.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stop and see.
