I wake up every morning 4am. On Sat. and Sundays I take about a 2 hour nap for recovery from some long form workout. It doesn't mess with my regular sleep though.

Weekdays, I can't squeeze in a nap so I feel like it's catchup.

Some of the best naps I've ever taken was at the camp after breakfast after a hunt.

2 hours isn't a nap. My gosh, no wonder you aren't sleepy when it's bedtime.

I fall asleep 15 or 20 minutes and wake up feeling rejuvenated.

this is the key, you don't want to nap long enough to get into REM, that's why it's called a power nap, if you stop short of REM you've recharged the batteries, if you get into REM briefly and wake up you've defeated the purpose

If it tells you to sleep 3 hours, then do it.
Nope. Not if you want to go to sleep at a decent hour come night time.
