I don't have any trouble staying logged in.

Might your IP-number be changing randomly?
You can check on http://httpbin.org/ip

Or maybe the cookie gets removed.
Or maybe the pages are cached and you're not really logged out (but that could only be the case for pages you've visited before).

It has occasionally happened to me - usually the problem goes away after a day or two.

I can't manage to stay logged in overnight though.

I suspect it's due to shifting IP due to the way modern ISPs dynamically reallocate them, but I've not bothered to investigate to see if there's any supporting evidence, or other plausible potential causes, so it could easily be something else.
