Have you tried putting her straight back into her own bed when she gets up and tries to get into yours? You may have to do it a hundred times and for several nights but she'll soon learn that no matter what she does or how many times she tries to get into your bed you won't allow it and she'll eventually stop trying. Good luck and be determined.

My son was the same way up until around 6 months ago. We had to take something away from him in order for him to get into his own bed. We took away his games and his computer. Lasted one night and he slept in his bed.

Even then, the ceiling light had to be on, etc. I don't know how we did it, but the ceiling light is no longer on now but only a nightlight, our puppy needs to be with him in his room (LOL) and his little DVD movie player has to be on.

However, for the most part of the night he sleeps in his room and when and if he does come out in the wee hours of the morning, he goes straight to the couch and not into our bed.

Did you manage to start last night? If so, how did it go? I hope it went well and that you've not been left totally exhausted.
