Sleep Clinics Singapore: Guide to Sleep Studies & Testing

Singapore General Hospital’s Sleep Disorders Centre on Outram Road recorded 1,240 overnight sleep studies in the first half of 2026, up from 980 during the same period last year.

Longer work hours and late-night screen use have pushed more adults toward formal testing rather than relying on self-help apps alone. The National University Health System noted a similar rise at its Kent Ridge campus facility, where referrals from polyclinics increased by 18 percent between January and June.

Clinics and programmes serving different neighbourhoods

Patients living in the central area can book assessments at the SGH centre, which operates seven nights a week and accepts direct referrals through the HealthHub portal. Further north, the Sleep and Snoring Centre at Mount Elizabeth Novena on Irrawaddy Road offers weekday slots and weekend packages that include a follow-up consultation with a respiratory physician. Both sites use the same standardised polysomnography protocol that records brain waves, oxygen levels and limb movements during a single night’s stay.

Community programmes have begun feeding into these clinics. The ActiveSG fitness centres in Toa Payoh and Bedok now run monthly talks on sleep hygiene that include information cards directing participants to the nearest polyclinic for an initial screening before any specialist referral.

Costs, waiting times and next steps

Public hospital sleep studies currently cost between S$850 and S$1,150 after subsidies for Singapore citizens, with results typically available within ten working days. Private centres charge S$1,800 to S$2,400 for the same test plus a specialist review. A 2025 Health Promotion Board survey found that 42 percent of adults aged 25 to 54 reported sleeping fewer than six hours on weeknights, a figure that has held steady since the previous measurement in 2022.

Residents can start by visiting any polyclinic for a basic sleep questionnaire and blood-pressure check. Those cleared for further testing receive an electronic referral that lets them select a date at either SGH or Mount Elizabeth Novena through the HealthHub app. Early booking is advised because slots at both sites are currently filling three to four weeks ahead.
