This is developmental issue. Eventually she will outgrow it. I recommend two things.
1. Go to a doctor and make sure she has no bladder infection or medical condition.
2. Get a bedwetting alarm. I personally like the Chummie bedwetting alarm.

Good luck!

I doubt the problem is sleep related, you my find more help on a different community dealing with children.

Think if you can identify anything that might have troubled you daughter just before the bed wetting started...must be something that caused her to lose control.  Does she have any other new/strange behavior?
