What does your daughter say? Is she afraid? Is something scaring her? Too dark? Too light? Or has she always slept with you? Another family member? Since she is 4, she should be able to verbalize her reluctance.
What do you think it is?
Have there been changes in your household?
Tell us more so we can help!

Try this.
Redecorate her room. Pack everything up until its all empty and ask her how she wants it. Go to the wallpaper store, paint store, some new curtains, new bedding have her pick it out and help out that way maybe she will feel the room is only her's and she will see it transform into something she feels comfortable with.
Hope this helps. (that would work for me heehe)
When you get down to her level and ask her why she does not want to sleep in her room what does she say? where does she sleep?
start a star chart for her and give her a star in the morning for staying in her room all night....we have used the chart for a couple of years and use it for a bunch of different things...staying dry overnight, brushing teeth, getting out of the tub, having good day etc....then tell her what the rewards are...we give .25 for a full week of stars and then every 4-5 weeks rewards with something big: chucky cheese, zoo trip, mcdonalds playland etc....it really works for us! we can also take away or not reward if mis behaving.
