If she wants to try it so badly, why not let her? You can always say, "if you are not asleep by ...(whatever time seems right)...I'm coming to pick you up." If she still wants to do it and then doesn't make it through the night, then you have a really good reason to say, "We tried it once, you're not going to try until you are older." I'd be proud of her for even thinking of being so brave and independent. None of my boys even thought about sleepovers until well into elementary school, though we did have a few kids sleep over at our house in nursery school.
