3. Block the bedroom door.

Use a larger plastic laundry detergent bottle or two. Or find gallon plastic bottles with lids - milk, vinegar, anything. Fill with water and keep by the bedroom door. Once you go to bed prop the bottle(s) against the door so she can't push them out of the way and gain entry to your sleeping room.
