is this one really totally wrong: Is it a serious mistake?

If I have slept only three hours, I feel not so good.

must it be :
If I have slept only three hours, I don`t feel so good.


I used GOOGLE and found the following structures:
It feels not so good for Bengali. ( The Washington Times)
...said they would feel not so good (USA TODAY)

Please comment!

If I only had 3 hours to sleep, I wouldn�t feel so good when I got up.

If I only sleep for 3 hours, I feel not (don�t feel) so good when I get up.

If I had slept for 3 hours, I won�t feel so bad.

Because I slept for only 3 hours last night, I don�t feel so good this morning.

Because I have slept for only 3 hours, I don�t feel so good (this morning).
