I have a Kindle Paperwhite 1st gen, and for the past month or so, when I put it to sleep, the backlight/frontlight will stay lit. Eventually the light turns off, but it takes a long time and my battery life has taken a hit.

Tried:
rebooting (multiple times)
turning light level all the way to zero (but there is always still some light)

Info:
Version: Kindle Paperwhite 1st Gen, Wi-Fi only
Serial Number: B02416...
Firmware: 5.3.9
Hack/Mods: Using a hack that lets you load custom fonts

Why is this happening?
