Answer
Perhaps the best solution would be to leave her at a doggy day care for the day.  She would have other dogs to play with and get plenty of exercise.  An alternative would be to have a professional dog walker come and give her a good walk every day.  Beside exercise, they need company.  

Making her sleep elsewhere could be as simple as leaving a bed for her elsewhere and closing your bedroom door.  However, being allowed to sleep in the bed is very important to a dog, and she may feel mistreated about it.
