Conventional wisdom says that love takes time. But researchers have found that the brain process we think of as "falling in love" takes about one-fifth of a second. Yes, 1/5 of a second!

Dr. Stephanie Ortigue and her crew have been running scans on the brains and bodies of people who claim to be smitten, and they discovered that the idea of love taking time just isn't supported by science. It's actually a chemical process, a real biological phenomenon. In fact, love takes the effort of 12 different areas of your brain working in tandem.

Everyone talks about how you fall in love with your heart, but sounds like your brain is actually the one in charge!

Americans Are Getting Friskier

In the lastest National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior total of 5,865 people, between ages 14 and 94, answered a series of intimate questions on their carnal habits.

The findings? Respondents say that they're getting more experimental.

The research also noted a disparity in sexual satisfaction between men and women, and one that suggests a lack of communication between the sheets.

A Woman's Type of Man

A study conducted by the University of Pecs (really!) in Hungary took 700 participants and found that most people wind up with somebody who looks a lot like their opposite-sex parent.

Sleep on it... Together!

Apparently lots of couples have trouble sharing a bed when they sleep - all that tossing and turning (not to mention snoring) can make sleeping together more of a chore than getting up in the morning.

Here are some tips to make sleeping in the same bed more enjoyable:

1. Make it. As in, stop being lazy and make your bed. It's the opening note for a good night's sleep, according to The Times.

2. Choreograph it. Paul C. Rosenblatt, a psychiatry professor at the University of Minnesota, told The Times that most couples sleep best when they face away from each other, which is better to avoid flexing knees and bad breath. Map out a strategy that allows for each person to comfortably sleep facing away from each other.
