I did some tests. Food that does 5 hp per minute. Day time rested you get 7.5 hp. Night time with rested bonus but cold debuff you get 3.8 hp per min. This also goes for stamina reg. Since the game is not finished, wiki at can be helpful while other times is useless. I played games were wiki was good then stuff changed in game which made the wiki useless and wrong info listed.

Night time is not the issue. I can go in swamps and kill leeches and wraiths without a second thought. For wraith is parry dagger=quick death before second attack. Getting groups of monsters is hard to get hp/stamina trying to run away.

The rested bonus does NOT apply when your character is wet and you automatically lose it until you're dry again. That includes rain, falling/jumping into a body of water or entering the Swamp biome where it's constantly raining. Annoying because it keeps ticking down but easy enough to rebuff with a 20 second sit next to a fireplace once you're in a dry area. The only way to counter this is to make as high-scoring food as you can and balance your health and stamina, particularly for the Swamp.

If you want to run a mod, Epic Loot is a good one as you can score waterproof armour and "feather fall" armour which does what it sounds like.

Regarding swarms while you're busy, logging/mining draws attention to you, hence the swarms.

Anyhoozles... as for the rest of your post.... The only answer is get good. Learn to take better notice of your surroundings before engaging or being distracted by things like logging if you're near a high-level biome that you aren't prepared for or kite mobs to a clearer area to fight.

Good luck!

Bigger stamina bars seem slower to refill than small ones. Cold effect feels like it is blocking the rested effect. The reg hp/stamina potions seem the timers bit low vs resist potions. Out of combat reg and in combat reg I feel it is different and slower.

Fighting other types of biome monsters attract monsters. Fighting grey dwarves, I have noticed pull these other monsters that were not in the area. Fighting in black forest areas.
