About this episode

Gary and Shannon discuss the science of sleep, the Mackenzie Shirilla case, and share bizarre headlines.

Gary & Shannon Overtime (5.30) Hour 2 – Gary & Shannon explore the science of sleep, including a new study claiming there’s a surprisingly narrow window for optimal rest and why waking up at 3 a.m. might have more to do with your blood sugar than your stress. Along the way, Gary reflects on surviving the sleep-deprived newborn years, the hosts unpack the tragic Mackenzie Shirilla case and the role her parents played in its aftermath, and they finish with a collection of bizarre headlines involving public nudity, terrible decisions, and one very unfortunate home invasion.
