Different times for different medication

i hope this in not a medical question. i take 10 medications. the medications i take that say take onedaily, i take all at once in the morning. of course, there are medications that say take every 4 hours or 6 hoursi adhere to the schedule. when in thehospital they spread out the medication all through the day and night, notethese medications are the ones i take one daily at the same time, in themorning. is there a reason forthis? is there somewhere i can go tofind out if i should spread these meds out as they do in the hospital? thank you.
