Unknown Gnome freezes and journalctl go brrr
(1) Issue/Bug Description: I think my issue is probably somewhat related to https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/1427 but isn't exactly the same. First of all, I wasn't having problems with workspace view. Second of all, I was having a third power nap so I don't actually even know what had actually happened. But like the aforementioned issue, I ended up rebooting to fix the problem. But I'm making a new issue because it has nothing to do with workspace view as far as my concern. (I woke up to see my screen not in workspace view and I rarely use it. So, it's unlikely that the issue was caused by workspace view)
One thing that might relate to this issue is that I woke up to see the launcher up (on the secondary monitor, if that matters at all). So perhaps it's some what related? However, since the error message was related to GNOME shell, I'm posting an issue here instead of launcher, if that make sense.
(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know): Nope, sorry.
(3) Expected behavior: Um, not freeze?

I also experienced this exact situation happening a few time in the past without the part related to workspace view, these days the issue seems to have disappeared, I don't exactly know when it stopped. Are you up to date and does the issue still persist ?
Some have mentioned that animations can cause gnome-shell to freeze, so that's something to try if it's still an issue.
