I think you have to be dialated to get induced or a membrane sweep..sorry. But hey it will all be over soon.

Some drs will. But not getting sleep certainly isn't a reason to be induced. If you aren't dilated any its because your body and your baby aren't yet ready. Just wait it out. Its better for baby in the end!

Nope but around 39 you can. I'm getting induced at 39weeks 3days. Ask for a membrane sweep at 38 weeks. I got one. Didn't work for me but maybe for you it will.

Some doctors will induce at 39 weeks for personal reasons. Mine said she would.

No. Unless theres a medical reason, most doctors induce because you are past your due date.
