Any thoughts on this...??

Lately, I'm having problems getting my Kobo (original) to successfully power down. I will depress the power button for 3-5 seconds, and it'll either go directly into Sleep mode - or it seems like nothing's happened, with the book text just staying on the page. In that case, when I try and depress the power button again, the Kobo acts like it's powering up - with the little boxes in the lower right flashing, etc.
Is there a certain techique/trick to getting it to successfully power down? This phenomenon seems to happen sporadically - sometimes I can get it to power down multiple times with no problems...other times, I want to fling against the wall with bad intentions.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
