How early can I check in and can I sleep in the F lounge?
Sorry for the silly question, but I'm new to SQ.
I will be flying in F from SIN to MNL on a flight that leaves at 0930. Is my understanding that you can sleep in the F lounge correct? If so, can I check in the night before my flight and sleep in the F lounge? I will be arriving in SIN several days earlier on DL, so I don't think this could be considered a transit stop.
Thanks!

yes, only at T2 if you have bags to check.
no issues with that.

In SIN, you can check in for SQ flights up to 48 hours before departure, although I don't think you could easily spend two full days in the lounge. There are sleeping areas in the T2 F lounge but AFAIK not in T3, including TPR, where you should go for dinner.
IIRC you can check in at the dedicated FC SQ check in lounge in T3 for any SQ flight in FC, even though you would then need to go (airside after the special passport control line for SQ FC passengers) to T2 for the flight. This is closed in the middle of the night.
You are free to use either (or both) of the SQ lounges, in T2 or T3, regardless of where your flight departs. They're different and it's fun to explore both (as well as the butterfly garden etc.) if you have lots of time at the airport.
You can also sleep in the free movie theater or in one of the airside transit hotels for a reasonable price.

I'm flying SIN-NRT-HNL all in UA Global First (O). The SIN-NRT flight leaves at 0700. I was wondering if I could check in at 0400 so that I could visit both First Class lounges (I understand they are open 24 hours). Are the check-in agents for UA there that early?

I was thinking the same thing. I believe unless you are travelling on SQ operated flights, you will have to use the Star Alliance Gold lounge, and cannot use the SQ Silverkris Lounges. Unless there is some special code share rule that we don't know about. here is the language from the SKL website:
You can enjoy access to our lounges if you are our Suites, First or Business Class passenger, or PPS Club members departing on Singapore Airlines operated flights. For travellers on codeshare flights, lounge entitlements would depend on the rules of the airline operating your flight.

in my experience, the food available overnight is instant noodles, that's it. I would much rather get a simple room at the Ambassador Transit Hotel, I think that is much more comfortable than trying to catch sleep on a lounge couch.

Definitely agree on the Ambassador Transit Hotel. Reasonable rates and still newish rooms in T3 make it a much better option than the SKL now they have removed the nap rooms.
