Wasn’t really aware of forced naps

I have a 14 wk old lab and am a little embarrassed to say didn’t really know about forced naps. I’m home most of time so mostly relied on play, training and mind games like treats used as treasure under stuff or in plastic bottles stuff like that to tire him out till he falls asleep on my feet. Lunch, crate him for hour or two while I go out, come home and repeat until he falls asleep again. He always seems to wake up right before dinner. He gets fed, light play and training, falls asleep on feet again, he wakes up long enough before bed to potty then in the crate for bed. Right now I’m getting up every 3 hours to take him out. I can’t take him anywhere yet until his last vaccinations in ten days. After reading this no wonder I’m exhausted. Am I doing him a disservice with this routine, maybe add forced naps? Suggestions, comments? Thanks
