Read these first:
the subject is in their preferred kind of bed (right firmness of pillow, mattress)
the atmosphere is quiet and dark with no light sources or sounds that can awaken people
the subject is wearing comfortable clothes, has adequate covering and is not too hot or cold.
if you put these together, is it possible for that person to keep sleeping and never really wake up?

Under your conditions, no. Every sleeping beauty has a Prince Charming destined for her!
Actually, you can't sleep forever like that. Hunger and thirst would stimulate your brain in no time, and it is very important that the brain is "off-line" to sleep for a long time.
However, provided that the subject in question is provided with adequate nutrition and such-and-such conditions, he or she can (in theory) sleep forever.

Never, accessories do not have such a affect. The only way someone would be tainted into a very deep sleep would be in the matter of mental or a medical condition. In other words, a coma.
Although, maybe in the future.

No. Eventually hunger and the need to relieve yourself would wake you up. However, in a comatose state, with an intravenous nutrition supply, as well as a catheter, a person could "sleep" indefinitely.

No. The person wakes up because of the bio-rhythms and hunger etc.
If a person sleeps for ever, it is called a coma or death.

No as that person would need to wake up from hunger or he will die of starvation.

You'd eventually die. Probably of starvation.
