1) I slept long hours today so I am feeling good.
2) I slept for long today so I feel good now.

Please check my sentences.
 
Also note that unless you work night shifts, you wouldn't say that you slept "today". That suggests daytime sleeping.

I slept for a long time last night so ...
I got a lot of sleep last night so ...
 
I'm pretty sure that tufguy was attempting to ask about the difference in aspect between the present simple I feel good and the present continuous I'm feeling good, and that the bit about sleeping for a long time was just to puff the context out into a full sentence.

I suspect the same but, if that's the case, that should be the only difference between sentences 1 and 2 in post #1. Instead, #2 includes "for" but #1 doesn't, #1 uses "long hours" but #2 uses just "long", sentence #2 includes "now" and sentence #1 doesn't.
@tufguy Please clarify exactly what you were asking.

No, I wanted to know about what I asked for. It has nothing to do with tenses.

In that case, please explain why you used two very similar sentences but made odd little changes between them.

1. Why did you use "I slept long hours" in sentence #1 but "I slept for long" in sentence #2?
2. Why did you use "I am feeling good" in sentence #1 but "I feel good" in sentence #2?
3. Why did you put "now" at the end of sentence #1 but not at the end of sentence #2?

You frequently say "Please check my sentences". That's not enough. It doesn't explain what you're trying to practise or what you hope to gain from our responses.

I wrote those because I had these in my mind however wasn't sure whether these could be used the way I thought. This is the reason I made those changes.

Note my corrections above. Please stop putting "however" in the middle of a sentence.

Your response hasn't explained anything. Please let us know what each use of "these" and "those" (marked in blue above) refers to.

They refer to the sentences that I wrote.
