Fixed encounters won't go away--if you haven't killed the original batch, they persist. Three places in Upper that respawn are the library (no-magic), assistant room (lightning rod chest), and garden (behind Phoony statue). L6 is high enough to spawn the occasional Pestilent Rat, so i usually stay L5 in the Monastery.
Better to sell all the goodies you can to buy more potions from Burz than to rest for long enough to respawn (usu 24 hrs). And if you're resting only for stamina, it should only take a couple seconds.
One tactic i like if i'm really overwhelmed is to drag the fights to the ramp and just duck out to Lower when Stamina/HP get low. If you can get them to follow without engaging, you lose no stamina (or HP) just getting there, and they can't follow accross the Zone line.
