Grammar

Not as... as

I have a question about the location of 'not' in the phrase "not as... as"

i) I didn't get up early as you.

ii) I got up not as early as you.

I could easily find sentences like i), but never saw ones like ii).

Is sentence ii) entirely impermissible?

please share your opinions!XD

I could easily find sentences like i) I doubt that. It is bad grammar. Could you show us some?
