"She Called Me Super-Woman. My Body Couldn't Take It": Tânia Couldn't Sleep More Than Three Hours a Day and Had a Stroke

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 01:30

Tânia Pires suffered a stroke at the age of 35. According to the news, she did not sleep more than three hours a day, which is believed to have contributed to what happened. A close person described Tânia as a "Super-Woman," but her body could not handle the intense pace of life.

After the stroke, Tânia faced even more difficulties. She went through a divorce during the recovery process. During this difficult period, she discovered she suffers from a personality disorder, which added another layer of complexity to her situation.

Tânia Pires' story illustrates the risks that overwork and lack of rest can pose to health, even in young people. The case serves as a warning about the importance of respecting the body's limits and seeking balance between the demands of professional and personal life.

Why this matters

This story is relevant for readers in Portugal because it alerts to the real risks of overwork and sleep deprivation, themes increasingly discussed in the context of Portuguese occupational health. Tânia's experience shows how the body can "give in" in young adults and raises questions about the social pressure on women to be "SuperWomen," directly affecting those facing similar routines.

Rare snake surprises breeders by having two heads capable of controlling the body equally

A two-headed ball python was born at a breeding facility in Eugene, Oregon (USA), and surprised breeders by demonstrating that both brains can equally control the shared body — something rare, since in most cases of dicephaly one head tends to be dominant. Both heads can drink water, flick their tongues, and react to touch independently, with the body responding to each one. The breeder Justin Stewart, 36 years old, told Creatorzine that he doesn't know if the heads are aware of each other, but stated: "They don't seem to mind it."
