Yeah --- in particular, it sounds like a connection timeout imposed by
a router or firewall.  A lot of NAT-capable routers will drop idle TCP
connections after a certain period of inactivity (typically an hour or
so ... if you're lucky, the router will let you adjust the timeout).
There is no connection timeout built into Postgres itself, so you should
be looking for network-related limitations.
