    Sounds like a fault somewhere so it's tripping.

    If it was me and I had no time for an electrician I would switch off at the mains till I returned. What's the point in a light coming on but the house burning down before you return. A bit extreme I know but I would not take any chances.

    Leaving the onbe that is tripping off, put the timers on the sockets that are still on.
