A visual way of seeing this is to think of a regular $n$-gon and its symmetries (to me this group is called $G=D_n$, but I'm aware that at least Dummit & Foote denote it $D_{2n}$). If $n=2^ak$, $k$ odd, then within a regular $n$-gon we see exactly $k$ regular $2^a$-gons, gotten from each other by rotating the picture by $\pi/n$.
Each of those $2^a$-gons has a copy of $D_{2^a}$ as its group of symmetries. As those symmetries are also symmetries of the $n$-gon, they form a Sylow $2$-subgroup $P$. Because there are exactly $k$ such subgroups, and the number of Sylow $2$-subgroups is equal to $[G:N_G(P)]$, we can conclude that $|N_G(P)|=|G|/k=|P|$. Hence $N_G(P)=P$.
Below please find the example picture of a regular $20$-gon together with the $5$ circumscribed squares. In the action of $D_{20}$ each of the five squares is stabilized by its own copy of a subgroup isomorphic to $D_4$. That's five distinct Sylow $2$-subgroups right there! Hence their normalizers must have order $|D_{20}|/5=8=|D_4|$.
