Greetings,
This is by design. If the conversation is idle for 5 minutes, it is ended.
You're not the first to ever complain about this - but this is done server side and there
isn't much you can do about it.
One thing you can do is set the people you often communicate with into a group, and within
the Send an instant message dialog (the one that appears when you right-click on the
Messenger icon in the notification area and choose the Send an instant message option), you
can select that group. Saves a few seconds...
