If you are painting over a semi gloss paint you wand to use trisodium phosphate or TSP on the wall before you start painting. This is a deglosser that will allow whatever paint you are using to adhere to the wall.
tip: After using TSP on the wall, give it a soap and water wash to prevent the phosphate in TSP to cause mildew/mold damage.

Is semi gloss paint okay for a bedroom?
At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.
