You're looking at your right hand for the source of the buzz. Take a good look at your left hand too. When I'm tired I have a tendency to get sloppy, and fret too far away from the fret. It takes alot more pressure to prevent a buzz if you're fretting more than 1/2" from the fret. Lower action will actually help prevent this type of buzz. Put a capo at the position where you usually get the buzz. If the buzz isn't there with the capo, it shouldn't be there with your finger fretting the note.


.004" relief sounds right to me. Too much relief will actually cause buzzes above the 7th fret or so.
