About a year ago Amazon was replacing their Amazon branded unlit leather covers because they were causing the device to hang, exactly as you describe. If your cover is the Amazon specific cover, try removing it for a while to see if the problem goes away. If it does, I'd contact Kindle support and ask if they're still replacing them.
AFAIK, nobody ever really figured out what was causing them to fail. Some suspected some kind of short caused by the hooks that go into the side of the case (which is where the electrical contacts are for the case with the light), but one guy did a video showing that you can short out everything in that region without causing harm, so it's still a mystery.
