When I moved into my new (to me) house last spring, mine was acting the same way. After some research I found out that the filter was SO clogged that the heat would back up into the furnace and it would auto shutdown due to high temps.. Assuming your filter is clean, make sure you are getting sufficient airflow though the system.

and then buy a WiFi enabled TStat. You can turn it on/off/adjust it from your phone... I use that feature every single day.
