So, with hindsight, not a good time to change sleeping arrangements.
Could you put a 'shake-down' on your floor and let her snuggle down there when she wakes? Otherwise move her back for a while, you need your sleep.
try giving her treats every time she goes to bed and stays quiet...also try playing with her as much as you can in the day to tire her out... also try telling her that if she goes to sleeep, and stays asleep all night, that the fairies might come (could work!). And buy her a special soft teddy to help her stay comforted. P.S if nothing works, try buying some thinking putty from www.firebox.com to stop your stress.
