Readtable() turns time stamp into decimal

I have a table with 40 columns. When I use readtable() it turns the time stamps into decimals and I don't know what the decimals mean. I need to extract the time stamps. And also I don't want the headers, but it reads them anyways.
data = readtable(filename, 'ReadVariableNames', false); %read in data file

The numbers are fractions of a day, so you can
Time = days(FractionsOfADay);
Time.Format = 'hh:mm:ss';
