Did you see Espressif doc about sleep ESP8266 modes? It is available here: http://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/9b-esp8266-low_power_solutions_en_0.pdf

It says:

In Deep-sleep mode, the chip can be woken up and initialized by a low-level pulse generated on the EXT_RSTB pin via an external IO.

So, I'm not sure it is possible to avoid reset (although, maybe some hacky way exists?), but what about another sleep mode? Like light-sleep.
