Mage armor would be the self or creature touched. Hallucinatory terrain could be an area outside. Both have long durations fitting to their purposes - passive protection, remodeling the look of a natural vista. They're defensive and utilitarian - useful in a fight, but neither is an attack. So settling in for a mellow start of the day and, effectively, getting a short rest doesn't feel like an abuse. But Hex is an attack spell. You have to contrive a legitimate target in order to cue it up for use later in the day with the power driving it having been regenerated. Having a bag of rats or cage of chickens just so you can have a "legit" target you can safely butch with impunity is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Sneaking off before breakfast to pick a fight just so you can kill it and get more rest before the official start of the day is also kind of silly. As a DM, I'd be considering sneaking off before breakfast to "kill a bear" to be the start of the day - but what you encounter may be up to me... hopefully, you can handle it solo because we're going to handle it in full style. And if you do this every freaking day, chances are the other players are going to have words with you for wasting a lot of game time for a single spell slot.</blockquote>
