I'm thinking he doesn't need t oeat, sleep etc. simply because he doesn't have to. There's no reason he would shed his skin though, however snake-like he is.
Argh, I had a point to make when I clicked reply, ummm...
Oh yeah, Lord Voldemort's immortality, just like all things that are professed as giving immortality, is not for certain, obviously.
This has been shown to us the entire series, through the Philosopher's Stone and the horcruxes.
Nothing can guarantee eternal life.
So... not very concrete at all as far as that goes.
You know, if you had 1000 years to defeat Voldemort, it would actually be quite simple.
Every few years you'd one or two people would go and have a crack at one of the horcruxes. As has been revealed, destroying one isn't that hard. Both of them may die, but they would not die in vain, because in another 100 years, another will come along etc.
It'd take a long time, but eventually I think you could locate them all and destroy him. Given a long time-frame, it's actually not that set in stone survival.
The one advantage Voldemort has had though, and anyone would have, would be:
That virtually nobody knows about them.
