The Private Room is only for those departing and connecting to SQ F class.
The First Class lounge is for those connecting from First Class on Singapore Airlines, those flying First Class on Star Alliance partners, PPS members, etc.
You are allowed one guest into the first class lounge as a First Class passenger, but not into the Private room itself.
FAQ:
Q1: Hi, is there an official site with access rules for the TPR?
A1: There’s no official site other than stating the Private Room is for SQ F.
Q2: I'm flying XXX - SIN in First class and then SIN - YYY in Business/Economy class. Will I have access to TPR based on my inbound First class ticket?
A2: The ability to use TPR on arrival, and when connecting between flights is unpublished, but was mentioned in a Q&A session with Singapore airlines in 2017.
Just show your inbound boarding pass and be departing same day, or overnight, and you’ll be welcomed in.
So do not throw out your inbound boarding pass!

When I first started browsing FT many many years ago, the common practice was to check in the night before, have dinner in TPR, then go home and sleep before re-checking in the next day for breakfast at TPR before your flight 
Checking in previous night (up to 24 hours earlier if you are kiasu enough) to enter TPR is still possible, but now you're not allowed to leave* the transit area, so you need to either slum it on a TPR/First Lounge couch or check in to a transit hotel.
* I guess technically it was always the case that you weren't allowed to leave, just that it didn't seem to be actively enforced

No opportunity to sleep on the TPR/ First lounge couches, since they close overnight, only SilverKris stays open.

Even if it stays open: who would spend the cash/miles on an F ticket and then sleep at a lounge without slumber rooms? As you said, I cannot remember a comfortable spot to sleep there.

Last thursday I flew PVG-SIN in suites, arriving at 10 pm. Afterwards, I went to the Private Room.
The next day I had a flight to DPS in Business on a separate ticket: entering TPR without problems. Show them my F BP en give me another few hours.
Loved the runway view in TPR!

Yes there aren't any sleeping rooms in the TPR or SKL F lounges. That's a bad thing. But even in lounges where there are sleeping rooms they're more "nap rooms" and not meant for overnight stays. I think you're confusing lounges with hotels!
Also, SKL F is open 24/7. TPR closes for a few hours at night.

I always thought the T3 FCL was 24/7 (as opposed to the T2)?

I wouldn’t appreciate being booted out of SQ’s lounge when traveling in F in SIN!

Long story, I was connecting from LH F to SQ J & since I’m LH HON the station manager arranged F lounge access while they sought rebooking options & no, they didn’t inform me I could have moved to T3 just asked me to move to SKJ

Thanks for the data point. If I experience something different, I'll try to update.
