Sure, there were a few rope-trick like things out there, but camping in the dungeon was a thing that you had to do and for which you had to be prepared.
AND you didn't just study for an hour and get all your spells back. You studied for 10 minutes per spell level. The Teleport without Error you used would take an hour, by itself... two, if you wanted to go there and back. So your "Ten minute work day" became a "ten minute work week", as you returned home to recover the spells you spent in that ten minute work day.
