Move her into the room you are sleeping in so you can get a decent sleep and she can sense your presence was my first thought.

I don't think the car journey and change of surroundings would stress her big time but would probably make her tired and in need of a longer rest.

Reason i'm saying this is because i collect rescue hamsters from all over the place, often enough more than an hours drive away then put them in a new cage in a new environment with unfamiliar voices and smells. They don't seem overly stressed and go to sleep after a good sniff around.

If you're worried, i'd check on her, talk to her and give her a treat but she may well go back to bed again.
