The average amount of hours for people to sleep is about 8 hours.
My doctor said I (As an individual) need about 6-8 hours every night.
If I sleep 10 hours one night, can I sleep 4-6 the next?

No, whether you oversleep or undersleep, it doesn't change the next days sleep. You should get different amounts of sleep at different stages in your life but as a rule of thumb, get your 6-8 hours....whether or not you over/underslept the night prior.

No, you can't "catch up" or "carry over" sleep. It's 8 hours sleep EACH night.
However, everyone has different sleep needs. You may be perfectly fine on your 4-6 hours sleep. It just wouldn't have anything to do with how much you slept the night before or after.

no it doesn't work like that, however, not getting a full nights rest once in a while isn't a big deal.
