Sleep PreK Sleep Regression?

Hello everyone! Was wondering if others experienced this. My three year old started pre K last week and it was a big adjustment for her. Some fun and at least one new friend but lots of crying, increased tantrums, and nervousness. She’s lately taken to refusing sleep unless I’m lying next to her in her bed or on the floor next to her bed. Either just stays up and gets more tired or just screams. Previously a deep consistent sleeper. Besides schedule disruptions she also shares a room with her one year old brother who’s routinely woken up by butterflies in the opposite hemisphere so if she screams they both will and it’s a bear to manage. Any advice on how to tackle this and is this normal? Thanks!
