Exactly what he said. However, since you are also having trouble with client variables, I suspect that the memory storage location is the issue. Usually by default sessions are managed via the cookies on CF5. However it was possible to change this to Registry or choose a database. If the server is set to use the Registry it could be running out of storage space to save the sessions and thus they are getting lost (expired really).
Look in the CF Admin for memory storage location and make sure it's set to cookies or a database provided that one was setup to do client variable storage.
