The best thing to do
Hello,
Are both of the following sentences acceptable? I guess the first one is correct, but what about the second one?
If you are unable to sleep, THE BEST THING TO DO IS to read for a while before trying again.
If you are unable to sleep, THE BEST WAY TO DO IS to read for a while before trying again.
Thank you for your answers!
