Check the settings in your php.ini file for
"session.gc_maslifetime".  

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as
'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

1440 seconds is 24 minutes.  If, while editing a page, you don't
refresh the session on some way (like "Show preview") the the
session will expire.
