HikariPool-1 - Connection is not available, request timed out after

Question

I'm using HikariCP 2.4.7 for connection pool. Everything is fine just after starting the application but after some time without invoking getConnection() I get this error when I'm trying to getConnection():

java.sql.SQLTransientConnectionException: HikariPool-1 - Connection is not available, request timed out after 42734ms.

During startup I'm initializing HikariDataSource:

hikariDataSource = new HikariDataSource();
hikariDataSource.setDriverClassName("org.postgresql.Driver");
hikariDataSource.setUsername(DATABASE_USER_NAME);
hikariDataSource.setPassword(DATABASE_PASSWORD);
hikariDataSource.setJdbcUrl(DATABASE_URL);
hikariDataSource.setLeakDetectionThreshold(5000);

And then I'm using it like this:

try(java.sql.Connection conn = Connection.hikariDataSource.getConnection()) {
            Record1 record1 = DSL.using(conn).select(SENSOR.ID) //jOOQ
                    .from(SENSOR)
                    .where(SENSOR.ID.equal(1))
                    .limit(1)
                    .fetchOne();
            Debug.println(record1.getValue(0).toString());
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

What am I doing wrong? How to troubleshoot this problem?

Edit:

Adding this solves the problem:

hikariDataSource.setIdleTimeout(60000);
hikariDataSource.setConnectionTimeout(60000);
hikariDataSource.setValidationTimeout(3000);
hikariDataSource.setLoginTimeout(5);
hikariDataSource.setMaxLifetime(60000);

It may be something connected with the server closing connections before HikariCP does but I'm not sure. Any comment on this would be appreciated.

I start by saying than i am not a Java programmer, you can try to close jOOQ DSL also:

try(java.sql.Connection conn = Connection.hikariDataSource.getConnection()) {
        try (Record1 record1 = DSL.using(conn).select(SENSOR.ID)) {
                .from(SENSOR)
                .where(SENSOR.ID.equal(1))
                .limit(1)
                .fetchOne();
        Debug.println(record1.getValue(0).toString());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }   
} catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
