I too have noticed the villagers don't open doors at night to sleep. I have to open the door before the villager will enter the house. This maybe the reason my villagers are changing jobs at a rapid pace and it is causing a de-spawning issue. My village population is decreasing rapidly since Windows Beta 1.13.0.9 .
It looks like the doors on village houses constructed when the village originally spawned are no problem for villagers. Doors on houses constructed after the original spawn prevent villagers from entering or leaving their house. As a workaround, I removed all the house doors. This is not a problem for my villages where I have created a protective barrier around the village.
I found another workaround: just open all the village doors. The villagers don't close the doors which allows them access to the buildings. I suggest you protect your village if you leave the doors open. I think this relates to Minecraft (Bedrock codebase) /
MCPE-44621Villagers can open and close iron doors.
@DrownedZombie, as I said previously, protect your village if you remove or leave the doors open. I have a wall around some of my villages. This is a workaround, and it is just a temporary fix so the villagers can sleep and go to there workstations. If you don't address the door issue, the villagers de-spawn and disappear.

This is an issue that could caused by that one MCPE-51216 because villagers cannot open doors in this beta.
This is probably a duplicate of MCPE-51216

Problem is that leaving the doors open would make villagers vulnerable to zombies and drowned. Also, they gain profession without going near ther jobsite.
@Allen Nelson yes you need to protect your village in normal Minecraft(not beta) if you want to live in. The problem is in this beta build there is this bug. It should be fixed by the game developers and not by the player like remove doors and change the village buildings completly to allow villagers to sleep and work as you said. But yes village protection needed because villager AI is not that smart.
