4 year old won't leave me alone!

My 4 year old has always been a good sleeper generally. However lately she has started getting up and into bed with me almost as soon as she's put to bed. If I let her stay, she disturbs me all night shuffling. If I put her back to bed, she goes to sleep but then usually is up in the night coming into me and I have to get up then she might come back in again anyway, and she always comes in to me about an hour before my alarm goes off.
Long story short I'm so tired, she won't stay in bed, and co sleeping results in me getting a shit night's sleep.
This morning I am so overwhelmed and touched out, I sent her downstairs to DH and he's sorted her breakfast etc but she's come back in to me about 5 times and now I'm sat on the loo and shes sliding her hand in and out the door!
I'm so tired I can barely open my eyes and I have a headache, and I now find myself this morning not wanting to be anywhere near her!

Mumsnet please help an absolutely fucking shattered, touched out mummy. Any advice?
