How much change is too much?

Hello, I will be moving in a few weeks and have the opportunity to place my Leopard Gecko’s tank in a room that she would have all to herself!!
The thing is, she has lived her entire 9 years of life in the bedroom with me. I play video games, listen to music, and am generally pretty present in my bedroom. It doesn’t seem to bother her, as she still explores her tank in front of myself and guests, she’s also in good physical health. I think she’s gotten used to it.
Would it be in her best interest to stick with the environment that she’s used to, and come along with me to my future bedroom? Or, should I move her into her own room? I just don’t want to stress her out with a new environment that’ll be much less active than she’s used to. Maybe it’s just me that’s feeling attached. I will definitely be anxious not being able to glance and make sure she’s okay constantly. Is a quieter environment better for her, even though she might already be used to my presence for hours a day?

I wouldn't worry about her. I find leopard geckos pretty adaptable. If you feel you'll miss her and that your presence is stimulating for her, you could just house her in your room, or you could spend evening time in "her" room. My geckos are all in my living room and dining room and I spend most of the evenings in the living room. One of my geckos watches me do yoga every night.
