Which backend is storing the session data? If session data is being stored in the cache(which is normally the recommended way), what caching backend are you using? If you are using locmem cache backend, this might be your problem, change the cache backend to something more stable for production.
Do you have other Django projects you manage? If so, is this the only project seeing this type of problem, or are other projects also having issues like this as well? There are many variables in what could cause a session to fail. For debugging purposes, write a simple middleware that keeps track of what is going on with the session cookie. Create a debugging app which can store this debugging info to a file or a database table. If all else fails, set-up a foolproof session set-up, store sessions directly into the database or as files in the file system to a directory which you know will not remove any of these files. If you use file-based sessions, you can check the timestamps there to see which ones are becoming stale easily. You can create a django view which can list the directory and it's timestamps for easily watching remotely(be sure to make the view superuser only).
