2 yr old won't sleep alone.

My dd is 2 years 3 months. She always slept well until recently (a few months). She wont go to bed without a huge fuss and wakes in the night for no obvious reason (although she always wants a drink). I've tried controlled crying, rapid return, sitting in her room but not responding to her and changing her cot to a bed. Although it takes time (sometimes 3 hours) to go to sleep she always wakes in the night and will not settle. As we both work and have neighbours I end up bringing her in our bed. Once she's in our bed she sleeps but I don't sleep well. I really need some help. Has anyone else been through this and found something that works? Is it just a 'phase'? Should I be using a sleep technique when she wakes in the middle of the night too? I'm seriously thinking about putting a sofa bed in her room and just sleeping in there.
